Don't place the cartridge tabs under the hooks on the
holder clamp; you may damage the clamp when you
close it.
8. Press down the ink cartridge clamp until it locks in place.
(The color clamp is a bit harder to close than the black
clamp.)
9. If you need to replace the other ink cartridge, repeat steps 4
through 8 before continuing with step 10.
10. Press the orange ink cartridge replacement button and close
the printer cover. The printer moves the print head and
begins charging the ink delivery system.
The Ppower light flashes, and the printer makes noise.
Charging takes about one minute. When it's finished, the
Ppower light stops flashing and stays on.
Never turn off the printer while the Ppower light is
flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made noise
for more than 5 minutes.
Cleaning the Print Head
If your printed image is unexpectedly light or faint, or dots are
missing from the image, you may need to clean the print head.
This unclogs the nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.

Cleaning the print head uses ink, so clean it only if print
quality declines. You can clean the print head in either of the
following ways:
using the Head Cleaning utility (when the printer is
connected to a local port, not over a network), as described
in the next section
using the printer's control panel buttons, as described on
page 12.
When you don't turn on your printer for a long time, the
print quality can decline. It's a good idea to turn on your
printer at least once a month to maintain good print
quality.
Using the Head Cleaning Utility
Follow these steps to run the Head Cleaning utility
(recommended method):
1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and
both the B black and A color ink out lights are off. (If an
ink out light is flashing, replace the ink cartridge instead.)
2. If you have an application running, access the printer
settings dialog box.
Or, with Windows, click

5. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print
head. Cleaning takes about 30 seconds, during which the
printer makes some noise and the Ppower light flashes.
Never turn off the printer while the Ppower light is
flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made noise
for more than 5 minutes.
6. When the Ppower light stops flashing, run a nozzle check
to confirm the print head nozzles are clean.
Make sure paper is loaded in the printer and click

pattern prints (see page 12 for details).
7. If the nozzle check pattern has no gaps in its dots, click
.
Finish
If the pattern is missing dots, click
print head again. If you don't see any improvement after
cleaning three or four times, check the solutions in the
Printer Basics book. 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.
