Cleaning the Print Head
If printing is faint, cleaning the print head may improve results.
Choose one of three print head cleaning modes (
Cleaning
,
Deep Cleaning
, or
System Cleaning
),
depending on the problem to resolve.
•
Cleaning
•
Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes the
least amount of ink.
It takes about 2 to 3 minutes.
•
Deep Cleaning
•
Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all or if
Cleaning
does not solve the problem.
It takes about 3 minutes.
•
System Cleaning
•
Use this mode if printing is not improved after
Deep Cleaning
.
System Cleaning
consumes a very
large amount of ink. Performing this frequently consumes the ink faster. Perform this only when needed.
It takes about 4 minutes.
Important
• Do not remove the maintenance cartridge or ink tanks during
Cleaning
,
Deep Cleaning
, or
System
•
Cleaning
.
Ink may leak or an error may occur.
• If printing is not improved after
System Cleaning
, the print head may be at the end of its service life.
Contact your Canon dealer for assistance.
• When using cut sheets, do not move the release lever until instructions (guidance) for removing the
•
paper are displayed.
Moving the release lever during printing or maintenance operations will cause the printer to stop.
Note
• Check the nozzle check pattern and select an ink group for which to perform cleaning as needed. You
•
can clean all print head or select the pattern below to clean the print head with a clogged nozzle.
