Cleaning the Print Head Nozzles
If printouts are unexpectedly light, colors are missing, or you
see light or dark lines across the page, you may need to clean
the print head nozzles.
Checking the Print Head
Print a nozzle check pattern to see if any print head nozzles are
clogged, or to check the results after cleaning the print head.
1. Make sure plain letter-size paper is loaded in the front tray
(see page 4).
2. Press the
Setup button. (If you’ve just finished cleaning the
print head, the setup screen appears automatically).
3. Use the u and d buttons to select
Nozzle Check, then
press
OK. Press OK again to print the nozzle check.
4. Examine the nozzle check pattern you printed. Each
staggered line should be solid, with no gaps, as shown.
❏ If your printout looks okay, you’re done. Press
Back to
return to the Setup menu.
❏ If you see any gaps, as shown below, press
OK and
follow the on-screen steps to clean the print head.
Cleaning the Print Head
Follow these steps to clean the print head so it can deliver ink
properly. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if
quality declines.
1. Press the
Setup button.
2. Use the u and d buttons to select
Head Cleaning.
3. Press the
OK button, then press OK again to start cleaning.
Cleaning takes about a minute, and you see a message on
the RX700 screen indicating that cleaning is in progress.
4. When cleaning finishes, press
OK to print a nozzle check
pattern to check the results.
If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning three or four
times, turn the RX700 off and wait overnight—this allows any
dried ink to soften—and try cleaning the print head again.
Note:
It’s a good idea to turn the RX700 on at least once a month to
maintain good print quality.
