Dell V525w All In One Wireless Inkjet Printer - Manual (Page 118)

Cleaning the printhead nozzles
If you have not been using the printer for a long period, then you may need to clean the printhead nozzles to improve
the quality of your prints. Keep your printer plugged to a properly grounded, working electrical outlet to allow it to
perform automatic maintenance cycles.
Notes:
• Cleaning the printhead nozzles uses ink, so clean them only when necessary.
• Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink.
• If the ink levels are too low, you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead nozzles.
