Registering Nozzle Recovery Manually
Allows other nozzles to be used for printing if maintenance actions like nozzle washing fail to resolve ejection
failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
• Nozzle recovery can be specified for up to 20 nozzles per row. The time taken for printing
remains unchanged even when nozzle recovery is set.
• Load media at least 500 mm wide. You cannot print the entire pattern if media less than 500
mm wide is used.
