<Note>
[GT-341 mode] is for when the White Print Head is not installed. Selecting [GT-341 mode] with the Print Head
installed omits the motion for protecting the Print Head, which may cause clogging of the Print Head nozzles.
When a White Capping Cartridge (

Option, 4 pcs. For GT-381, 2 pcs. For GT-361) is installed, never activate
the printer. Doing so will cause problems with the Print Head.
