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.
MEMO If the media has already been set up, the After cleaning, perform a printing test menu appears. When this is turned on, a printing test is performed after cleaning.
Procedure
  1. Set up the media.
  2. Click BN2_Utility_Icon_NozzleCleaning Cleaning.
  3. Select Powerful Cleaning under Head Cleaning, and then click Execute.
