Cleaning the Nozzles

Press or to select one of the following:
• NORMAL CLEANING—Press OK to start the
cleaning cycle.
• CLEAN COLOR PAIRS—Press OK, select the
color pair you want to clean, then press OK to start
the cleaning cycle. Use if you know which color(s)
you need to clean; this saves ink from being used
unnecessarily to clean working nozzles.
• POWER CLEANING—Press OK to start the
cleaning cycle. Use only if three cycles of normal
cleaning doesn’t clear the nozzles.

When cleaning is finished and the Power light
stops flashing, print the nozzle check again to confirm
that the head is clean.
You can also turn the printer off and leave it overnight to
dissolve any dried ink, then clean the print head again the
following morning with a normal cleaning cycle.
If you continue to detect a problem with the white ink
nozzles, perform a white ink refresh as described in the
User’s Guide.
If your prints look grainy or blurry, or you see
misregistration or “ghosting,” you need to align the print
head.
