Canon recommends running a Head Cleaning A and, if this does not solve the problem, repeating Head Cleaning B two or three times. Cleaning B wastes 30 ml of ink.If this still does not improve printing, the printhead may have reached the end of its useful life.The Canon printers perform automatic cleaning routines after periods of printer inactivity.
