Staggered Print Heads - 1
Two black ink print heads, arranged in a staggered configuration,
increase the area of coverage for black-and-white printing.
This arrangement of black print heads increases the printing
speed for large black-and-white documents.
There are two print heads for black (K1, K2) and one independent
print head for Cyan (C).
Yellow and Magenta (YM) share one print head.
Note that during color printing, the K1 print head is not used.

This is why the cleaning unit has to move back and forward. The cleaning unit is
level with the K1 print head (the K1 suction cap is also the K1 print head cap). To
clean the other heads, the cleaning unit must move back.
In some situations, the K1 print head will be moved back level with the other four
before cleaning starts. Cleaning will be explained in detail later.
