Maintenance Cleaning the Print Head Head cleaning is a function for cleaning the surface of the print head to maintain the print quality. Run head cleaning if the printing becomes faint or gaps appear in the printing. Notes Print head cleaning consumes ink. Before running print head cleaning, you can run a nozzle check to check whether or not the nozzles are clogged. This makes it possible to prevent consuming extra ink during print head cleaning. (See "Checking the Print Head Nozzles" on page 85.) Normal Clogged Causes and Solutions for Print Head Drying Cause Prevention This product has a print head cap to prevent it from drying, the same way there are caps for fountain pens or ballpoint pens. Normally, the print head is automatically capped after printing finishes, but if the power suddenly goes off while the product is running, it is not capped properly and it dries out. • Plug the power plug into an outlet directly attached to the wall. Do not connect it to a power strip with a switch. • Be sure to turn the power on and off using the power button. If you do not use this product for a long time, the print head may dry out and become clogged, the same way a fountain pen dries up and no longer writes if it has been left open for a long time. We recommend that you print regularly. You can maintain the print head in optimal condition by printing regularly. If you take the ink cartridges out and leave them out, the print head dries out. Do not take out the ink cartridges and leave them out. 87
