Cleaning the print head To ensure the good print quality, the machine will regularly clean the print head. You can start the cleaning process manually if needed. Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you get a horizontal line in the text or graphics on your printed pages. You can clean Black only, three colors at a time (Yellow/Cyan/Magenta), or all four colors at once. Cleaning the print head consumes ink. Cleaning too often uses ink unnecessarily. CAUTION DO NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause permanent damage and may void the print head's warranty. 1 Press Ink. 2 Press or to choose Cleaning. Press OK. 3 Press or to choose Black, Color or All. Press OK. The machine cleans the print head. When cleaning is finished, the machine will go back to standby mode automatically. Note If you clean the print head at least five times and the print has not improved, call Brother Customer Service (See Brother numbers).
