To ensure the print heads’ proper condition, the Printer performs the automatic cleaning. The cleaning mode
can be specified depending on the preset media. Select the DURING PRINT or DURING PRINT2 depending on the
media characteristics.

ADJUST VAL.
The cleaning is performed even while the Printer is printing. In this mode, before the cleaning the
Printer completes the print band in process.
This mode is recommended when printing on the media subject to the heater temperature, for
example, on Vinyl.
After the cleaning, the Printer starts the rest of the interrupted print job.
Some media shows misalignment at the linkage of the prints before and after the cleaning. In such
a case, START & END or DURING PRINT2 is recommended.
Based on the past print operation history, the Printer performs the automatic cleaning on starting
and completing the print operation.
The cleaning is performed even while the Printer is printing. In this mode, the cleaning may start
with the current print band interrupted.
This mode is recommended when printing on the media less subjected to the heater temperature,
for example, on Banner.
After the cleaning, the Printer starts the rest of the interrupted print job.
This mode shows less misalignment at the linkage than the DURING PRINT. However, the hue after
the cleaning may be different from the one before the cleaning.

Automatic cleaning is not performed. We recommend using this mode when printing
continuously several data files on media with which differences between printouts will be
noticeable if automatic cleaning is performed between two data files.However, since cleaning is
not performed automatically, determine suitable times to execute cleaning manually.Missing print
will happen more frequently if cleaning is not performed for a long time.
