Cleaning the Print Head
Clean the print head if lines are missing or if horizontal white streaks are present in the printed
nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition.

After pushing the cassette back, the paper information registration screen is displayed on
the LCD. Select A4 or Letter for Page size and Plain paper for Type, then press the OK
button.
If a message is displayed on the screen, follow the directions in the message to complete
registration.
