Print Head Deep Cleaning starts when the POWER lamp starts blinking green.
Do not perform any other operation until the Print Head Deep Cleaning
finishes. This takes about 90 seconds.
4 Print the nozzle check pattern to check the Print Head condition.
See “Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern” on page 47.
If a particular color is not printed properly, replace the ink tank of that color. See
“Replacing an Ink Tank” on page 37.
z If the print head nozzles are still not clean, open the Top Cover and
ensure that there are sufficient ink levels in all ink tanks and turn off
the printer. Be sure to perform another Print Head Deep Cleaning 24
hours after turning off the printer.
z If this does not solve the problem, the Print Head may be worn out.
