About Each Cleaning Method
There are several cleaning menus on this machine. Perform the appropriate type of cleaning in accordance
with the cleaning period and machine condition.
NORMAL CL.
Perform normal cleaning when there is a dot drop-out in test prints. Be
sure to do this in the following cases.
Before daily operations
After daily operations
Also, perform normal cleaning during daily operations as needed.
P. 21, "Printing Tests and Normal Cleaning"
MEDIUM CL.
If you cannot fix dot drop-out with normal cleaning, try medium clean-
ing. If medium cleaning does not fix the problem, perform powerful
cleaning.
P. 58, "Medium and Powerful Cleaning"
POWERFUL CL.
Manual Cleaning
Perform this cleaning every day when the machine’s interior tends to
be grimy due to the scattering of ink mist (this problem tends to occur
when printing with some distance between the print heads and print
surface). Even if it does not become very grimy, clean periodically as
needed based on your usage (at least, once a month).
Medium and Powerful Cleaning
When normal cleaning (
P. 21, "Printing Tests and Normal Cleaning"
) does not correct dot drop-out, perform the
more powerful cleaning, a “medium cleaning,” two or three times. If this still does not resolve the problem, try
the even more forceful "powerful cleaning."

Medium cleaning consumes more ink than normal cleaning. Powerful cleaning consumes more ink
than medium cleaning. Because the print heads are prone to damage if cleaned too frequently, do
not perform cleaning more than necessary.
