							Important 
Cleaning consumes a small amount of ink. Deep Cleaning consumes a larger amount of ink than
Cleaning.
Cleaning the print heads frequently will rapidly de plete your printers ink supply. Consequently,
perform cleaning only when necessary. 
Note 
If there is no sign of improvement after Deep Clean ing, switch off the machine, wait 24 hours, and
then perform Deep Cleaning again. If there is still  no sign of improvement, the ink may have run out.
Replace the ink cartridge with a new one.
