  6. Do one of the following:
     • If there are no gaps, select O to exit.
     • If there are gaps or the pattern is faint, select X and then select Head Cleaning.
     • If almost the entire pattern is missing, select X , and then select Power Cleaning.

  If you don’t see any improvement after cleaning the print head up to 3 times, turn the product off using the  power button and wait at least 6 hours. Then run a nozzle check and try cleaning the print head again, if necessary. If quality still does not improve, run a Power Cleaning.
