Cleaning the Print Head
Clean the print head if lines are missing or if horizontal white streaks are present in the printed nozzle check

consumes ink, so clean the print head only when necessary.
Note
• You can also clean the print head using the computer. When using the computer, select the ink group
to clean, then start cleaning.
