Medium Cleaning

When problems such as dot drop-out and dot displacement are not resolved by normal cleaning, perform the more forceful Medium Cleaning to remove clogging from the print heads.
MEMO Medium cleaning consumes more ink than normal cleaning. Because the print heads are prone to damage if cleaned too frequently, do not perform cleaning more than necessary.
Procedure
  1. Select Medium Cleaning under Head Cleaning, and then click Execute.

    Medium cleaning starts.

  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 medium cleaning again.
    • If problems such as dot drop-out and dot displacement persist even after you have performed medium cleaning two or three times, perform the more forceful Powerful Cleaning.
