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) . Manual cleaning should be performed at least once a month .
"
Medium and Powerful Cleaning
When problems such as dot drop-out are not resolved by normal cleaning ("STEP 3: Printing Tests and
Normal Cleaning" [First Step Guide]), perform the more forceful "medium cleaning" two or three times . If this
still does not resolve the problem, try the even more forceful "powerful cleaning ."
NOTE
Normal cleaning consumes the smallest amount of ink, followed by medium cleaning and then powerful
cleaning .
Also, frequent cleaning may damage the print heads . Avoid using these cleaning methods more than
necessary .
