about a minute. Can be run multiple times. Advised to use when automatic maintenance routines 
and ink circulations are not enough. 

 

Medium Clean button

 

Additional maintenance routine for fixing streaks, spitting ink through the nozzles and for cleaning 
printhead surface. Takes about 2-3 minutes. Heavier form of Light Clean. Advised to use when 
automatic maintenance routines, ink circulations and Light Cleanings are not enough to recover 
print quality. Usually when medium clean is needed, it is the sign of the particular printhead is 
getting aged and near towards the end of life. 

 

Heavy Clean button

are heavily dehydrated.
