Important:
Always remove clogs from the nozzles of all
colors before resuming use. If clogged nozzles
(including clogged nozzles for colors that are
not used) remain when printing after
resuming use, the clogs can no longer be
removed.

To print the post-cleaning test pattern in the
space beside an existing pattern, press the u
button to rewind the media until the print start
position is aligned with the pressure rollers.
Head Cleaning
Should the nozzle pattern contain faint or missing
segments, you may be able to unclog the nozzles by
cleaning the print head.
There is no need to clean the head if the print result does
not contain faint areas or other color problems.
You can also clean the head while printing is paused.
Note, however, that hues in the printout may change
when printing is resumed.
Head Cleaning Level
Choose from three levels of head cleaning.
Select Execute (Light) first. If the pattern still contains
faint or missing segments after head cleaning has been
performed once, try again using Execute (Medium) or
Execute (Heavy).
