Periodical Cleaning Maintenance

Periodic Cleaning Menus

This machine has several cleaning menus. Perform the appropriate level of cleaning in accordance with the ink type, the cleaning period, and the machine condition.

Medium/Powerful Cleaning

If problems such as nozzle drop-out persist even after you have performed normal cleaning, carry out the more powerful Medium Cleaning two or three times. If this still does not resolve the problem, carry out the even more forceful Powerful Cleaning.
MEMO Medium cleaning consumes more ink than normal cleaning. 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.
