Cleaning the Ink Cartridge Nozzles
You may need to clean the nozzles when:
• White lines appear in graphics or solid black areas.
• Print appears smudged or too dark.
• Colors fade, do not print, or do not print completely.
• Vertical lines appear jagged or edges appear rough.
To clean the ink cartridge nozzles:
1 Load plain paper. For more information, see "Loading Paper" on page 20.
2 Click Start→Programs or All Programs→Dell Printers→Dell Photo Printer 720→ Dell
Printer Solution Center.
3 Click the Maintenance tab.
4 Click Clean to fix horizontal streaks.
5 Click Print.
When the page prints, it forces ink through the clogged nozzles to clean them.
6 Print your document again to verify the improved print quality.
7 If you are not satisfied with the print quality, wipe the ink cartridge nozzles, and then print
your document again.
