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.
  • 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.
