Cleaning procedure
Print Head Cleaning has the following three types.
❏
Auto Cleaning
The level is automatically changed, according to the
condition of the clog detected in a nozzle, and then
cleaning is done.
❏
Cleaning(Light), Cleaning(Medium),
Cleaning(Heavy)
Cleaning is done at one of three selected levels.
❏
Print Head Refresh
Powerful cleaning is done with the ink suction
function of the suction caps.
Perform Auto Cleaning first. If the clogs are not cleared
by doing it, then do in the order of Cleaning(Light),
Cleaning(Medium), and Cleaning(Heavy) until the
clogs are cleared.
Execute Print Head Refresh if there are multiple large
clogs, even though you executed Cleaning(Heavy).
When you execute Print Head Refresh, the suction caps
need to be cleaned, because of this, the cleaning
operation takes a long time, so execute it if you have the
problem described above.

Checking the circuit breaker’s
performance
The circuit breaker automatically cuts off the electric
circuit when electric leakage has occurred in the printer.
Follow the procedure below to check the performance of
both circuit breakers about once a month.
The breaker may be changed or removed without
notice. The procedure for operation is the same, even
when slight changes are made to the Trip button or Test
button position or to the description of the breaker.
c
Important:
Do not turn off the power by using the circuit
breaker. Otherwise, the printer may not function as
expected.
