Never turn off the printer while the P power light is flashing, unless the printer hasn't moved or made any noise for more than 5 minutes. Follow these steps to run the Head Cleaning utility: 1 Make sure the printer is turned on but not printing, and both the B black and A color ink out lights are off. 2 Start an application and open a document. 3 Access the printer settings dialog box as described in Printing from Windows or Printing from a Macintosh. 4 Click the Utility tab (Windows) or the Utility icon (Macintosh). You see the Utility menu. 5 Click the Head Cleaning icon. 6 Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head. Cleaning takes a little over a minute, during which the printer makes some noise and the P power light flashes. When the P power light stops flashing, run a nozzle check to test the results and reset the cleaning cycle. 7 Make sure paper is loaded in the printer and click Print nozzle check pattern (Windows) or Confirmation (Macintosh). Then click Next. The nozzle check pattern prints on your printer; see Examining the Nozzle Check Pattern for details. 8 If the nozzle check pattern is filled in completely, click Finish. If the pattern is missing dots, click Clean to clean again. If you don't see any improvement in the print quality after cleaning two or three times, check the solutions in Improving Print Quality.
