Printing Maintenance

Cleaning the Printhead

If your printed output appears faded, streaked or scratchy, the printhead may

need to be cleaned or aligned.

To clean the printhead in Windows:

1. With the printer on, click Start, then Settings, then Printers.

2. Right-click the Canon S200 printer

icon, then select Properties.

3. Click the Maintenance tab, then

click the Cleaning icon.

4. When a conﬁrmation message is

displayed, click OK.

5. After the cleaning, print a nozzle check pattern to check the results. See

“Printing a Nozzle Check Pattern” on page 25.

6. If there is no change in the nozzle check pattern after cleaning, perform a

printhead deep cleaning by clicking the Deep Cleaning icon on the

Maintenance tab. When ﬁnished, print a nozzle check pattern to verify that

the printhead is clean.

Printhead cleaning consumes ink.

Avoid unnecessary cleaning.

Maintenance tab

appearance and

procedures may vary for

Windows XP, Me and

2000. Follow the

instructions when

prompted.

If the printhead is not clean after deep cleaning, repeat steps 1–4

two more times. If the printhead is still not clean, contact the

Customer Care Center. (See page 38.)
