Clean the Print Head from Your Computer (Windows)

To maintain good print quality, the machine automatically cleans the print head when needed. If there is a print quality problem, start the cleaning process manually.

If you start the cleaning with low ink amount, it may cause damage to the machine. Check each ink tank level before starting the cleaning and refill each ink tank as necessary.

  1. Hold down the image key and press the image key on the computer's keyboard to launch Run.
  2. Type "control printers" in the Open: field and click OK.
