To Clean the Printhead
Clean the printhead only if the cartridge doesn't print or prints in streaks.
1. Follow the directions in the printer manual.
2. If that doesn't work, here's a quick and easy method to try next:
oTurn on the hot water faucet and let the water get good and hot.
oStick just the copper printhead under the hot water for 3 to 5 seconds.
oRemove the printhead and dry with a tissue.
oRe-insert in the printer and run the printhead cleaning routine.
oPrint 2 pages. You should get dilute print for a half page or so and then
good quality printing.
3. If this doesn't work, soak only the printhead in simmering water for up to 2 hours.
You may add up to 50 percent ammonia for tough clogs.
