This menu is used for machine maintenance.
Item Overview
Cleaning Print a test pattern to clean the heads in case of ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging,
deflection). "Head Cleaning"(P. 73)
Cleaning Three types of head cleaning are available. Choose the method based on test results.
Ink fillup (Print
head)
Fills the ink to resolve ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection).
Auto
maintenance
Set the conditions to start print head cleaning automatically.
Cleaning
(Standby)
• Cleaning (Standby): When this is turned on, head cleaning will be performed once
the [Interval (Time)] has elapsed. Set to OFF if you prefer not to clean automatically.
• Interval (time): Cleans heads after the specified value is exceeded.
• Mode: Set type of cleaning.
Flushing
(Standby)
• Flushing (Standby): Set to ON for flushing. Flushing reduces nozzle clogging via
regular print head ink discharge.
• Interval (time): Flushes heads after the specified value is exceeded.
Cleaning
before print
• Cleaning before print: Set to ON to clean as set in [Interval (Pages)] and [Mode].
• Interval (Pages): The head is cleaned after the number of files printed exceeds the
specified value.
• Mode: Set type of cleaning.
Nozzle recovery Allows other nozzles to be used for printing if maintenance actions like nozzle washing
fail to resolve ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection). "Nozzle Check
Before Print"(P. 103)
Nozzle check Performs a nozzle check.
Nozzle check
before print
Automatically performs nozzle checks (nozzle clogging detection) before printing
begins.
• Nozzle check before print: Set to ON for nozzle checking using the set [Interval].
• Interval page: After the set number of prints, nozzles are checked before printing the
next job.
• Cleaning: Sets the type of head cleaning to be performed automatically when the
nozzle check detects an error.
• Retry count: Performs nozzle recovery (cleaning followed by nozzle checking) for
the specified number of times.
• Nozzle clogging judgment condition: Set the number of clogged nozzles used to
determine nozzle clogging. Up to 64 nozzles per color can be set. The next print will
not start if "nozzle clogging" is detected during continuous printing.
Nozzle
recovery
Performs nozzle recovery automatically if nozzle clogging is detected.
• Mode: Set to ON for automatic nozzle recovery.
Nozzle
recovery
confirmation
message
If nozzle recovery cannot be performed, setting [Nozzle Recovery Confirmation
Message] to OFF will start printing without displaying the print continuation confirmation
dialog box.
