Cleaning the printhead nozzles Poor print quality is sometimes due to clogged printhead nozzles. Clean the printhead nozzles to improve the quality of your prints. Notes: • Cleaning the printhead nozzles uses ink, so clean them only when necessary. • Deep cleaning uses more ink, so try the Clean Printhead option first to save ink. • If the ink levels are too low, then you must replace the ink cartridges before you can clean the printhead nozzles.
