    When printing is complete, check that no dot drop-out or dot displacement has occurred. If dot drop-out or dot displacement is present, perform head cleaning again. If the printer has been used for a long period, dot drop-outs may not be fixed even after performing head cleaning two or three times. If this is the case, perform liquid cleaning.
