Checking and Cleaning the Print Head
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint, there is visible banding, or unexpected colors appear. If the
nozzles are severely clogged, a blank sheet will be printed. When print quality has declined, first use the nozzle
check feature to check if the nozzles are clogged. If the nozzles are clogged, clean the print head.
Important:
c
❏ Do not open the front cover or turn off the printer during head cleaning. If the head cleaning is incomplete, you
may not be able to print.
❏ Head cleaning consumes ink and should not be performed more than necessary.
❏ When ink is low, you may not be able to clean the print head.
❏ If print quality has not improved after repeating nozzle check and head cleaning 3 times, wait for at least 12
hours without printing, and then run the nozzle check again and repeat the head cleaning if necessary. We
recommend turning off the printer by using the
Cleaning.
❏ To prevent the print head from drying out, do not unplug the printer while the power is on.
You can check and clean the print head by using the printer's control panel.

Questions and answers
What is the wifi password for printing
after filling my ink tanks up. I have done a head clean and nozzle check and the magenta is not showing on the nozzle check.
The magenta may not be showing on the nozzle check due to clogged print head nozzles or air in the ink tubes. If the printer was used when the ink levels were too low, air may have entered the ink tubes. Additionally, if multiple head cleanings and a nozzle check did not restore print quality, the nozzles may still be clogged. Running a Power Cleaning may help resolve the issue, but ensure that all ink tanks are at least one-third full before doing so to avoid potential damage to the printer.
