    Power Cleaning Using the Product Control Panel

    You can run a Power Cleaning using the control panel on your product.

    Note: After a Power Cleaning, you must turn off the product and wait at least 12 hours before running another Power Cleaning.

    1. Make sure there are no errors on the LCD screen and the output tray is extended.
    2. Visually check the ink levels and make sure each ink tank is at least one-third full.

      Caution:
      If you run a Power Cleaning when the ink levels are low, you may damage the product.

    3. Press the  home button, if necessary.
    4. Select Maintenance > Power Cleaning.
