(4)  Check the Wiper Cleaner, and if it is heavily soiled, replace it using the Cap Cleaning Kit (see “6-1-2. 

Replacing the Wiper Cleaner”). If the Wiper Cleaner is not heavily soiled, go on to the next step.   

(5)  Check the Wiper Blade, and if it is damaged or worn , replace it using the Wiper ASSY (see “7-2-10. 

Replacing the Wiper Blade” for the details). 

Step 3: Check the ink tubes and do “Powerful” head cleaning. 

Check the ink tube inside to see if there is any "empty" air space longer than 5 mm. If so, do "Powerful" 
head cleaning to fill the tube with ink. If not enough, please do "Initial" head cleaning (you can cancel if 
the empty air space disappears.)   
If the problem is not solved, proceed to    the next step. 
 

Step 4: Clean the Print Heads with the “Powerful” mode. 

(1)  Print the Nozzle Check Pattern, and check which Print Head has the problem (see "7-2-3. 

Checking Print Quality with Nozzle Check Pattern "). 

(2)  Clean the Print Head that has the problem with the “Powerful” mode (see “7-2-2. Cleaning the Print 

Heads”).  

(3)  Print the Nozzle Check Pattern and check if the problem is solved. If you still notice the problem, 

repeat steps (1) to (3) up to five times. 
If the problem is not solved, proceed to the next step.
