PF motor heat 
protection control

variation of the motor and the power supply board are measured to acquire 
correction values for them.
Select the parts that you replaced. The correction values are 
automatically written to the main board.

Bottom margin 
adjustment
In order to improve the throughput, the printer minimizes the number of 
print passes when printing on the bottom margin (bleed) in the borderless 
printing. This may cause white area to appear on the bottom edge of the 
borderless printout. In such case, use this adjustment to correct the printing 
range on the bottom margin (bleed).
A bottom margin adjustment pattern is printed. Examine the printout 
patterns and enter the value for best pattern to register the correction 
value to the printer.

Waste ink pad counter
The printer causes a maintenance error when the waste ink pad counter 
reaches its maximum. Use this to reset the counter after replacing the 
Waste Ink Pad. If you find the counter is close to the maximum during 
servicing, carry out the pad replacement and the counter reset to avoid 
the printer returned from the user due to the maintenance error.
After replacing the Waste Ink Pad, reset the counter to its default.

Ink charge
This must be carried out after replacing the Printhead in order to fill ink 
inside the new Printhead. The Printhead becomes ready for print.
Filling ink inside the Printhead is automatically performed. Print a 
nozzle check pattern to check if all nozzles are firing ink properly.
