Clean the print cartridges

Use this feature when the self-test report shows streaking or white lines through any
of the lines of color. Do not clean print cartridges unnecessarily, as this wastes ink
and shortens the life of the print cartridges.

Clean the print cartridge contacts

Clean the print cartridge contacts only if you get repeated messages on the color
graphics display prompting you to check a print cartridge after you already have
cleaned or aligned the print cartridges.
Before cleaning the print cartridge contacts, remove the print cartridge and verify that
nothing is covering the print cartridge contacts, then reinstall the print cartridge. If you
continue to get messages to check the print cartridges, clean the print cartridge
contacts.
Make sure you have the following materials available:

Dry foam rubber swabs, lint-free cloth, or any soft material that will not come
apart or leave fibers.
