If print quality has declined and the nozzle check pattern indicates clogged nozzles, you can clean the
print head.
Note: When Auto Cleaning is enabled, the nozzles are checked after head cleaning and, if clogging is
detected, auto cleaning is performed. Depending on the status of the nozzles and the Max Cleaning
Count setting, this process can take up to 32 minutes.
Note: You cannot clean the print head if an ink cartridge is expended, and may not be able to clean it
when a cartridge is low. You must replace the cartridge first.
