    Print Head Deep Cleaning
    If print quality does not improve by standard  Print Head Cleaning, try Print Head Deep 
    Cleaning , which is a more powerful process. Note  that cleaning the Print Head causes ink 
    used for cleaning to be absorbed in the ink absorber.  Print Head Deep Cleaning consumes 
    more ink than standard  Print Head Cleaning, so perform this procedure only when 
    necessary.
    Before performing  Print Head Deep Cleaning , open the Top Cover and ensure 
    that all of the ink lamps are lit. If any one of the ink lamps flashes red fast or 
    unlit, this tank has run out of ink. Be sure to replace the ink tank before 
    performing  Print Head Deep Cleaning . To perform Print Head Deep Cleaning  
    under the ink out condition may cause the printing trouble such as the mixing of 
    inks, or a printer malfunction.
    See  “Replacing Ink Tanks ” on page 42.
    Ensure that the Inner Cover is closed.
    1Ensure that the printer is on.
