Head washing should only be performed if a standard head cleaning (progressive up to heavy cleaning) and head
maintenance did not solve unrecoverable nozzles or degraded print quality due to deected or missing nozzles.
Head washing is performed on one or more channels. Performing head washing will completely drain the ink from the
selected channels, ll the channels with cleaning solution, and then reinitialize the ink channel.
Time: approximately 40 minutes
Supplies Required: Cleaning cartridges, one per channel that needs cleaning. Note that cleaning cartridges can be used
at least 2 times, depending on previous use.
Process: With the printer powered on, select Head Washing from the Maintenance menu, and follow the instructions on
the printer’s control panel.
