down for 3 seconds. Cleaning takes a little
over a minute, during which the printer

the printer hasn’t moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes.
3. After the
Ppower light stops flashing, print a page to test the print quality and
reset the cleaning cycle.
If you’re connected directly to the printer, run a nozzle check. Go to step 4.
If you’re printing over a network, open an application and print a document
containing black and color data. Then go to step 8.
4. Start an application, open a document, and access the printer settings dialog box
as described on page 9.
5. Click the Utility icon. You see the Utility menu.
6. Make sure paper is loaded in the printer, click the Nozzle Check icon, and click
Next . The nozzle check pattern prints; see page 22 for details.
7. If the nozzle check pattern is filled in completely, click Finish . If the pattern is
missing dots, click Clean to clean again.

times, check the solutions on page 36.
