How to improve print quality

Cleaning the print head

To ensure good print quality, the machine will regularly clean the 
print head. You can start the cleaning process manually if needed.

Clean the print head and ink cartridges if you get a horizontal line in 
the text or graphics on your printed pages. You can clean Black only 
or three colors at a time (Cyan/Yellow/Magenta), or all four colors at 
once.

Cleaning the print head consumes ink. Cleaning too often uses ink 
unnecessarily.

Caution

Do NOT touch the print head. Touching the print head may cause 
permanent damage and may void the print head’s warranty.
