few sheets of A4/Letter size or larger paper is loaded in the printer’s auto
sheet feeder.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Click Print Nozzle Check Pattern in the Head Cleaning dialog box to
confirm that the head is clean and to reset the cleaning cycle.
If dots are still missing after cleaning, try the following:
❏ Repeat this procedure three or four times, turn the printer off and let it sit
overnight, and then try head cleaning again.
❏ Select POWER CLEANING from the control panel on the printer. See "PWR
CLEANING" on page 128. This consumes ink, so only use this cleaning

cleaning.
