- Shut down the printer andturn off the power.
- Inspect the printer head. If you can see dried ink on the print head nozzles that are clogged, try soaking the printer head in a cleaning solution of warm water and a few drops of dishwashing detergent.
- Use a Q-tip or other cotton swab to gently clean the nozzle. If the nozzle is broken, the head may need to be replaced.
- Check andclear the print head. Manually check the printer’s manual to find where the print head is located and how to open it.
- Fill a small container with isopropyl alcohol and warm water. Place the print head in the mixture and let it soak. Gently scrub the head with a small brush and replace the cleaning liquid every few hours.
- Test the new print head. After the cleaning process is complete, re-install the print head, restart the printer and run a test print to see if the nozzle is working properly.
