Feed a blank sheet of paper through the printer. 4 Clean the exterior of the printer. Use a soft, dry cloth. Do not clean the exterior of the printer with volatile liquids such as thinners, benzine, or any spray-type or chemical cleaners; doing so will damage the surface of the printer.

Test A This test prints a repeating pattern of characters.

Test page Demonstration Print Printer Settings Ripple Pattern Nozzle Check Font Sample Number of beeps 1 2 3 4 6 When you release the POWER button, the test page starts to print. Cleaning the Print Head Your printer is equipped with two print head cleaning functions to ensure constant high quality printing. Quick Cleaning Requires about 30 seconds and improves print quality. Extensive Cleaning Requires about 60 seconds and corrects severe nozzle clogging. Because extensive cleaning consumes ink, execute this procedure only when the print quality does not improve after repeating the cleaning function. 1 of 1 4/24/98 3:10 PM Cleaning the Print Head From Windows If you are using Windows, you can execute the quick cleaning procedure from the Control tab of the printer driver. Simply click on the Clean Ink Head button to clean the print head. Cleaning the Print Head Using the Operator Panel To start the quick cleaning procedure: Press and hold the RESUME button until you hear one beep. To start the extensive cleaning procedure: Press and hold the RESUME button until you hear two beeps. The extensive cleaning takes about 60 seconds. After cleaning, you can print the Nozzle Check to check the print head nozzles. See Printing the Test Pages on page 4-5 for details. Perform the print head cleaning only when you encounter a print quality problem. Unnecessary and repetitious print head cleaning will waste ink. 1 of 1 4/24/98 3:10 PM BJ Cartridge Guidelines You can use these BJ cartridges and BJ tanks with the printer.
