Cleaning the print head
2 2
The print head nozzles could be clogged if there is a pattern missing on the nozzle check
pattern. Try cleaning the print head. If cleaning does not work, consider that ink has run out and
replace the ink tank. If there is still sufficient ink remaining, then execute print head deep
cleaning.
• Print head cleaning and deep cleaning consume ink. Avoid cleaning the print head unnecessarily. Memo
