Powerful Cleaning

When problems such as dot drop-out and dot displacement are not resolved by medium cleaning, perform the more forceful Powerful Cleaning to remove clogging from the print heads.
MEMO 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.
Procedure
  1. Select Powerful Cleaning under Head Cleaning, and then click Execute.

    Powerful cleaning will start.

  2. Click Output under Nozzle Drop-out Test.
    The nozzle drop-out test will start.
  3. When printing is complete, open the front cover.
  4. Check whether there is dot drop-out or dot displacement in the test pattern.

    Missing blocks indicate dot drop-out. Collapsed or inclined blocks indicate dot displacement.

    MEMO
    • If there is no dot drop-out or dot displacement, click OK.
    • If the problem persists, try performing powerful cleaning again.
    • If problems such as dot drop-out and dot displacement persist even after you have performed powerful cleaning two or three times, contact your authorized dealer.
