Print head needs Power Cleaning 6. Do one of the following: • If there are no gaps, select O. • If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, select X and continue. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head. • If most lines are missing or not printed, most of the nozzles are clogged. Select O and then run a Power Cleaning. See the link below. 7. Follow the instructions on the screen to clean the print head, check the nozzles, and repeat the process as necessary. Caution: Never turn off the product or open the scanner unit during a cleaning cycle or you may not be able to print. If you don't see any improvement after cleaning the print head up to 3 times, turn the product off and wait at least 12 hours. Then run a nozzle check, and try cleaning the print head if necessary. If quality still does not improve, run a Power Cleaning.
