Automatically cleaning print cartridges
If your printed pages are missing lines or dots, or if they contain ink streaks, the print
cartridges might be
low on ink or might need to be cleaned.
If the print cartridges are not low on ink, follow these steps to clean the print cartridges
automatically:
1
Open the printer Toolbox .
2 Click Clean the Print Cartridges.
3 Click Clean, and then follow the onscreen instructions.
If your documents are still missing lines or dots after cleaning, replace the print
cartridges .
Caution Clean print cartridges only when necessary. Unnecessary cleaning
wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridge.
Maintaining the printer body
Because the printer ejects ink onto the paper in a fine mist, ink smudges will eventually
appear on the printer case and adjacent surfaces. To remove smudges, stains, or dried
ink from the exterior of the printer, use a soft cloth moistened with water.
When cleaning the printer, keep these tips in mind:
●
Do not clean the interior of the printer. Keep all fluids away from the interior.
● Do not use household cleaners or detergent. If a household cleaner or detergent
has been used on the printer, wipe the exterior surfaces with a soft cloth moistened
with water.
● Do not lubricate the support rod that the print cartridge cradle uses to slide back
and forth. Noise is normal when the cradle moves back and forth.
