4. Follow the instructions on the screen. The printer prints
and examines the nozzle check pattern shown below. If
cleaning is necessary, it then cleans the print head and prints
and checks another nozzle check pattern.
5. The utility prints and checks up to five times. If some print
head nozzles are still clogged, it displays an on-screen
message telling you to manually clean the print head.
Follow the instructions below to clean the print head using
the Head Cleaning utility, if necessary.
If you still have print quality problems, check the solutions in
the User's Guide. You can also turn the printer off and wait
overnight—this allows any dried ink to soften—and then try
cleaning the print head again.
