5 Maintaining the Printer
The NeuraJet17 requires little manual maintenance; most maintenance is done
automatically as needed. However at periodic intervals you will need to change the
printhead cartridges, and ink cartridges. You may also need to clean your printer.
5.1 Cleaning Routines
The printer has automatic cleaning routines, or the user can run manual cleaning
routines. A Test Pattern can be printed to see if cleaning has been successful.
