This section describes the additional functions; not adjustment items though, of the
adjustment program.
5.4.1 I/S Decompress
 Overview
This printer is equipped with the ink supply mechanism that pressurizes ink constantly
even though the printer is turned off. Therefore, the following phenomena occur during
servicing.
 If the joint of the ink supply tubes connected with the printhead is removed,
the ink in the ink tube flows out and contaminates the surroundings.
 The ink flowed out from the joint of the ink supply tubes and the printhead
gets into the decompression tube of the ink tube.
 At the leak check, the ink flows out from the joint of the ink tube and the
printhead or the nozzle of the printhead.
To prevent this from happening, execute this “I/S Decompress”, and discharge ink in
the ink supply path via the Ink System (Cap) out of the printer. This minimizes the risk
of affect on servicing and quality.
 Preparation
Before executing the I/S Decompress, make the following preparations:
 Remove the Waste Ink Tray Assy to discharge the waste ink out of the
printer.(See "4.2.5.11 Waste Ink Tray Assy (p156)")
 Procedure

For IS Decompress, ink will discharge for nine times by default
considering the result of ink discharging test. The number of times
of discharging can be chosen from one to twenty though, the ink
may remain in the ink supply path if discharging is performed only
fewer times (if not sufficient).
