If the clogged nozzles are not cleared by
executing Normal cleaning, execute Normal
cleaning again. If the clogged nozzles are not
cleared even by repeating this several times,
execute Power cleaning.
If the clogged nozzles are not cleared even after
executing cleaning at Power, 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 from the printer’s control
panel.
