Maintenance and Consumables
Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes the least amount of
ink.
It takes about five minutes to complete.

Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all, or if Head Cleaning A does not solve the problem.
It takes about six minutes to complete.
Important
• Do not remove the Maintenance Cartridge or ink tanks during either Head Cleaning A or Head Cleaning B.
Ink may leak or an error may occur.
