❏
You printed or performed head cleaning when the ink levels were too low to be seen in the ink tank windows.
❏
You performed the nozzle check and head cleaning several times and then waited for at least 12 hours without
printing, but print quality still did not improve.
Before running this feature, read the following instructions.
c
Important:
Make sure that there is enough ink in the ink tanks.
Visually check that all of the ink tanks are at least half full. Low ink levels during Power Cleaning could damage the
product.
c
Important:
An interval of 12 hours is required between each Power Cleaning.
Normally, a single Power Cleaning should resolve the print quality issue within 12 hours. Therefore, to avoid
unnecessary ink usage, you must wait 12 hours before you try it again.
c
Important:
Maintenance box replacement may be required.
Ink will be deposited to the maintenance box. If it becomes full, you must prepare and install a replacement
maintenance box to continue printing.
Note:
When the ink levels or the free space in the maintenance box are insufficient for Power Cleaning, you cannot run this
feature. Even in this case, the levels and the free space for printing may remain.
