If you have not used your printer for a long time
If you have not used your printer for a long time, the print head nozzles may
become clogged. Perform a nozzle check and clean the print head as
necessary.
To perform a nozzle check using the control panel, see "Checking the print
head nozzles" on page 130.
To perform a nozzle check using the printer software, see "Checking the print
head nozzles" on page 88 for Windows, or "Checking the print head nozzles"
on page 39 for Mac OS X.
To clean the print head using the control panel, press Menu for more than
3 seconds.
To clean the print head using the printer software, see "Cleaning the print
head" on page 89 for Windows, or "Cleaning the print head" on page 40 for
Mac OS X.
If you have not used your printer for more than six months, the print head
needs to be cleaned. If you see a message on the LCD asking you whether
you would like to run an auto nozzle check, select Y to start the nozzle check
procedure. Inspect the nozzle check and run a cleaning cycle if necessary.
If you want to perform head cleaning later, select N.
Note:
Even if you will not be using your printer for a long time, leave the ink cartridges
installed.
