Follow the on-screen instructions to execute
Powerful Cleaning.
A confirmation message is displayed when
cleaning is complete.
E
Print a nozzle check pattern to check whether
any nozzles are clogged, and then select Nozzle
Check. Check whether all of the lines in the
nozzle check pattern were printed correctly.
If you do not want to print a nozzle check
pattern, select Finish.
If the clogs are not cleared even after executing
Powerful Cleaning, then do not use the printer
for printing for at least 12 hours. Waiting for
this amount of time may allow the clogged ink
to dissolve.
If that does not improve the situation, execute
Power Ink Flushing.
See the next section for details about Power Ink
Flushing.
Power Ink Flushing
If clogs do not clear after executing Powerful Cleaning
and then not using the printer to print for more than
12 hours, executing Power Ink Flushing may improve
print quality.
Executing Power Ink Flushing replaces all of the ink in
the ink tubes.

Important:
❏ Before starting work, visually check that the
ink tank is more than 50% percent full.
Because all of the ink in the ink tubes is
replaced, if you perform this operation with
only a small amount of ink remaining, the ink
may contain bubbles and you will not be able
to print correctly.
❏ You may need to replace the maintenance box.
Ink in the tubes is discharged into the
maintenance box. When the maintenance box
is full, you cannot print until it has been
replaced. We recommend preparing a new
maintenance box in advance.

If the clogs are not cleared even after executing
