Deep Cleaning
Deep Cleaning
is more thorough than cleaning. Perform deep cleaning when two
Cleaning
attempts do not resolve the print head problem.
1.
Open the printer driver setup window
2.
Click
Deep Cleaning
on the
Maintenance
tab
When the
Deep Cleaning
dialog box opens, select the ink group for which deep
cleaning is to be performed.
Click
Initial Check Items
to display the items you need to check before performing
deep cleaning.
3.
Execute deep cleaning
Make sure that the machine is on and then click
Execute
.
Click
OK
when the confirmation message appears.
Print head deep cleaning starts.
4.
Complete deep cleaning
The
Nozzle Check
dialog box opens after the confirmation message.
5.
Check the results
To check whether the print quality has improved, click
Print Check Pattern
. To
cancel the check process, click
Cancel
.
Important
Deep Cleaning
consumes a larger amount of ink than
Cleaning
.
Cleaning the print head frequently will rapidly deplete your printer's ink supply.
Consequently, perform cleaning only when necessary.
Note
If there is no sign of improvement after
Deep Cleaning
, switch off the machine, wait
24 hours, and then perform
Deep Cleaning
again. If there is still no sign of
improvement, the ink may have run out or the print head may be worn. For details on the
remedial action to be taken, see "Ink Is Not Ejected."
