Setting up Auto-Maintenance
You can schedule automatic maintenance routines for the printer. During an
auto-maintenance routine, the printer will perform a predefined cleaning of the
printhead. This maintenance helps ensure print quality.
Note: The auto-maintenance routine uses ink and other consumables. Run the
auto-maintenance routine only as often as needed to maintain print quality.
