Step 2: Normal Cleaning Method

Procedure
  1. Check for the group with dot drop-out or dot displacement by viewing the results of the printing test.
    The gloss, white, and primer strokes are in Group A, and the yellow, black, cyan, and magenta strokes are in Group B.


    MEMO

    If the printing-test results are difficult to interpret

    Try changing the test paper color, or check the results in a bright location while changing your line of vision. They are visible using the reflection of the light.

  2. Tap Cleaning.
  3. Tap Normal Cleaning.

    The screen shown below appears.

    Panel_select-head-group

  4. Select the group of print heads to clean.
  5. Tap Execute.
    Cleaning will start. The details of the operation in progress and the (approximate) remaining time of that work are displayed in the status bar at the top of the screen.

    When the work is finished, the status bar returns to its original display.

  6. Tap Panel_Icon_Back, and then tap it one more time after the screen switches.
  7. Perform a printing test again.
    Tap Execute under Printing Test.
  8. Check to make sure the dot drop-out or dot displacement has been corrected.
    If the problem persists, try performing normal cleaning again. If the printer has been used for a long period, dot drop-outs may not be fixed even after performing normal cleaning two or three times. If this is the case, clean using a different method.
