Making Printer Settings Head-flushing Follow the procedure below to perform a thorough print-head cleaning.

Slide the envelope selector to the forward position. 2. Open the printer properties dialog box. 3. Click the [Maintenance] tab. 4. Click [Head-flushing]. 5. In the [Select print-head(s)] area, select a colour. 6. Click [Next >]. 7. Select the [Head-flushing] check box. 8. Click [Next >]. Head cleaning starts. Do not perform another operation before cleaning is complete. 9. Click [Finish]. To check the condition of print-heads after cleaning, select the [Print nozzle check test pattern] check box, and then click [Next >].
