multiple times if necessary. The belts will run at high speed for a period of time to recondition the
belts. It is not necessary to load any media for this utility.

The printheads may require cleaning if the printed images show streaks of color. This may occur if
the GX Auto Printer has been idle for an extended period of time.
You will need to place a disc on the belts below the input hopper prior to running the Cleaning.
Running this process more than once may be required if the quality does not improve after cleaning
one time.
