Head Cleaning Utility
The Head Cleaning utility enables you to clean nozzles on the print head of the printer.
To perform print head cleaning, use the following procedure.
1. Turn on the power of the printer.
2. From the [Utility] tab, click [Head Cleaning]. The following message appears.
3. Click [Next]. Print head cleaning starts.
4. When print head cleaning is finished, the following message appears.
To see if the print head has been cleaned successfully, click [Check Nozzle] to print a nozzle
check pattern. (For information on nozzle check, see “Nozzle Check Utility” on page 3-9.)
Note:
The print head cleaning operation removes anything blocking the nozzles and therefore prevents the
nozzles from clogging up. Because this operation also removes some ink, it should not be used unless
necessary.
