14.4 Cleaning the print system
14.4.1 Start automatic cleaning the print system
You should start the cleaning process for the ink cartridges only if the quality of the
imprint is not good enough (e.g. gaps in the imprint after longer periods out of use).
Cleaning
• Go to the SET UP menu using the
key.
• Select SYSTEM SETTINGS PRINT
CLEAN PRINT HEAD.
A message will inform you about the
progress of the cleaning procedure.
Intensive cleaning
You should start the intensive cleaning
process if regular cleaning does not
improve print quality in a sufficient way.
• Go to the SET UP menu using the
key.
• Select SYSTEM SETTINGS PRINT
INTENSIVELY CLEAN PRINT
HEAD.
A message will inform you about the
progress of the cleaning procedure.
• Test the imprint quality by a zero test
print (see chapter 4.3 on page 19).
When the cartridges are heavily stained it
may occur that even an intensive clean-
ing process does not improve imprint
quality as expected. In such cases you
can clean the print heads mechanically
(see chapter 14.4.2 on page 146).
