Clean (recover) the printheads Periodic printhead cleaning is performed automatically, as long as the printer is kept turned on. However, you should clean the printheads if you are experiencing poor print quality and cannot resolve the issues by other methods. This ensures that there is fresh ink in the nozzles and helps to prevents nozzle clogs. If you have printed the printhead status plot (see 1. The printhead status plot on page 85), you know which colors are failing. Clean any printhead that is not performing adequately. If you are not sure which printheads to clean, clean all of the printheads. NOTE: A small number of blocked nozzles are unlikely to have any visible effect on your prints, as the printer has been designed to compensate for this problem during multi-pass printing.
