Clean the print cartridges

Use this feature when the self-test report shows streaking, white lines through any of
the lines of color or when a color is muddy after installing a print cartridge for the first
time. Do not clean print cartridges unnecessarily, as this wastes ink and shortens the
life of the ink nozzles.
