Chapter 3 Maintenance

Periodic Cleaning Maintenance

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).

 P. 60, "Manual Cleaning"

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."

Procedure

Press [FUNCTION].

Press [ ], then [ ].

“MEDIUM CL.”

Press [ ].

“POWERFUL CL.”

Press [ ], then [ ].

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.
