Perform Print Head Cleaning periodically
This printer comes with a built-in automatic
maintenance function that automatically performs
Print Head Cleaning periodically (approximately once
every three hours) or when it is determined to be
necessary based on the results of automatically
monitoring the nozzles.
You can change the Print Head Cleaning frequency
for the automatic maintenance function to a shorter
period of time when necessary, for example, if you are
using media that scuffs easily.
