6.1.3 Service Maintenance
If print irregularity (missing dot, white line, etc.) has occurred or the printer indicates
“Maintenance Error”, take the following actions to clear the error.
V
Head Cleaning:
The printer has a built-in head cleaning function, which is activated by operating
the control panel.
Make certain that the printer is in the standby mode (no LED is flashing).
Under the condition where no error has occurred, press the Maintenance button on
the control panel. Then select “Cleaning” on the LCD and press the “Select”
button to start cleaning.

Maintenance Error Clear:
Ink is used for the operations such as cleaning as well as printing. Therefore, the
printer wastes certain amount of ink and drains it into waste ink pad, while
counting the amount of the waste ink. Once the amount of the waste ink reaches
the predetermined limit, the printer indicates “Maintenance Error” and the waste
ink pad should be replaced.

Timing for Replacing the Waste Ink Pad:
When the total amount of the waste ink reaches the predetermined limit, the LED
indicates “Maintenance Error”. (Refer to section 1.6.4 "Error/Warning Display
(LCD)")

version, ink counter, select code page, nozzle check pattern on the status printing
sheet. If the ink counter value is close to its limit, notify your customer and
recommend that the waste ink pad be replaced (If the waste ink pad is not replaced
at that time, there is a possibility that “Maintenance Error” will occur soon after
the printer is returned to the customer). Once you have the confirmation of the
customer, replace the waste ink pad.
