Problems with print quality, especially horizontal white lines in your
document, may mean a nozzle on the print head is clogged or your ink
cartridge is running out of ink. There are two ways you can clear up the
problem.

Cleaning the print head as part of a print request
is a faster method of clearing
nozzles. It tells the printer to clean the print head before it starts printing
the next document.
m
Printing a test page
also cleans the print head. It gives you a test pattern you
can evaluate, but it takes a bit longer.
IMPORTANT
Cleaning the print head consumes a small amount of ink. If you
repeat the procedure unnecessarily, you reduce the life of your cartridge.
Explanations of these two procedures follow.
