Cleaning the Print Head If print quality has declined and the nozzle check indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the print head. Print head cleaning uses ink, so clean it only if necessary. Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first (see page 47). 1. Load letter- or A4-size plain paper in the main paper tray. 2. Press the Home button, if necessary, and select Setup. 3. Select Maintenance, then select Head Cleaning. 4. Press x Start. Cleaning takes about 2 minutes. When it's finished, you see a message on the display screen. Caution: Never turn off the printer during a cleaning cycle or you may damage it. 5. Select Nozzle Check. Then press x Start to run a nozzle check and confirm that the print head is clean. 6. Select Finish Nozzle Check when you're done. Note: If you don't see any improvement after cleaning the print head four times, leave your Artisan 810 Series turned on and wait at least six hours to let any dried ink soften. Then try printing again. If you do not use your Artisan 810 Series often, it is a good idea to print a few pages at least once a month to maintain good print quality. 44 Maintaining Your All-in-One
