Maintaining and Transporting the Printer
Running a Cleaning Cycle
If your printed image is unexpectedly light or has banding (faint light or
dark horizontal lines), you may need to run a cleaning cycle. This unclogs
the print head nozzles so they can deliver ink properly.
The cleaning cycle uses ink, so you should run it only if print quality
declines. To determine whether a cleaning cycle is necessary, print a nozzle
check first. You should also print a nozzle check after cleaning the print head
to see if the cleaning cycle was successful.
There are two ways to run a cleaning cycle:
•
Using the printer’s control panel buttons, as described below
•
Using the Head Cleaning utility in your printer software, as described
on page 54 (may not be available if you are accessing the printer over a
network)
Printing a Nozzle Check Pattern
Follow these steps to print a nozzle check pattern:
1.
Load a letter-size sheet of paper in the printer, following the instructions
on page 77. (You can print the nozzle check on larger sheets or on roll
paper, but you will use more paper.)
2.
Press the
SelecType
button on the control panel. You see
PRINTER
SETUP
.
3.
Press
d
until you see
TEST PRINT
, then press
r
. You see
NOZZLE
CHECK
.
4.
Press
r
until you see
PRINT
, then press
Enter
. The nozzle check sheet
prints.
