Specify which printheads you would like to clean. You can clean all of the printheads or only some of them. Select from the following options. ● Print test plot ● Clean all ● Clean LC-C ● Clean Y-MK ● Clean LM-M Cleaning all printheads takes about 5 minutes. Cleaning any two printheads takes about 3 minutes. NOTE: Cleaning all printheads uses more ink than cleaning a single pair.
