Cleaning the Print Head Follow the instructions below to clean the print head: 1. Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and the red ink light is off. 2. Right-click the printer icon on your taskbar (in the lower right corner of your screen). Select Head Cleaning. Note: If you don't see the printer icon, see page 15 for instructions on making it appear. 3. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head. Cleaning takes about 40 seconds. The printer makes noise and the green power light flashes. Caution: Never turn off the printer while the green power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made noise for more than 5 minutes. 4. When the green power light stops flashing, make sure paper is loaded in the printer. Click Print nozzle check pattern, then click Print. The nozzle check pattern prints. 5. If the nozzle check pattern has no gaps, click Finish. If the pattern has gaps, click Clean to clean the print head again. You can also turn the printer off and wait overnight-this allows any dried ink to soften-and then try cleaning the print head again. 16 Solving Problems
