This section explains how to clean the print head using the Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility and the Head Cleaning utility. Use the Auto Nozzle Check and Cleaning utility first, to let the printer check and clean the nozzles. If you still notice problems with quality, you can manually clean the print head.
