Select "Counter Clear" only when replacing the
Waste Ink Pads along with all replaceable parts of
Maintenance Assembly. See Maintenance
Procedures on page 67.
Unless otherwise indicated, you should not use
costly roll paper to print the test patterns in this

precision (Bi-D and head angle adjustments), be sure
to use coated ink jet paper.
