The printer will clean the print head nozzles. Only clean the print heads when the faint areas or gaps appear in your printout. When the black or color ink out light is on or flashing, the print head cannot be cleaned until the ink cartridge is replaced. Use the Nozzle Check utility to confirm that the print heads need to be cleaned.
