Cleaning The Printhead Nozzless

Poor print quality is sometimes due to clogged printhead nozzles. Clean the printhead nozzles to improve the quality of the prints.

  • Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink.
  • If the ink levels are too low, you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead nozzles.

  1. From the printer control panel, press .
  2. Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Maintenance, and then press .
  3. Press the arrow buttons to scroll to Clean Printhead or Deep Clean Printhead, and then press .
  4. Press to clean the printhead nozzles.
  5. A cleaning page prints

Using the printer software
  1. Click or Start.
  2. Click All Programs or Programs, and then select the printer program folder from the list.
  3. Select Printer Home.
  4. From the Maintenance tab, click Clean Cartridges.
  5. A cleaning page prints.
