Periodic Cleaning Maintenance
About Each Cleaning Method
There are several cleaning menus on this machine. Perform cleaning periodically or as needed.
Normal cleaning
Perform normal cleaning when there is a nozzle drop-out in test prints.
Be sure to do this in the following cases.
Before daily operations
After daily operations
Also, perform normal cleaning during daily operations as needed.
P. 20, "Printing Test and Normal Cleaning"
Medium cleaning
If you cannot x nozzle drop-out with normal cleaning, try medium
cleaning. If medium cleaning does not x the problem, perform pow-
erful cleaning.
P. 60, "Medium and Powerful Cleaning"
Powerful cleaning
Manual cleaning
Perform every day when the machine's interior tends to be grimy due
to the scattering of ink mist (this problem tends to occur when printing
with the some distance between the print head and the print surface).
Even if it does not become very grimy, clean periodically as needed
based on your usage (at least, once a month).
P. 62, "Manual Cleaning"
Medium and Powerful Cleaning
When normal cleaning (P. 20, "Printing Test and Normal Cleaning") does not correct dot drop-out, perform the
more powerful cleaning, a “medium cleaning”, two or three times. If the condition is not improved, try the
even more powerful “powerful cleaning”.

Medium cleaning consumes more ink than normal cleaning. Powerful cleaning consumes more ink
than medium cleaning. Because the print heads are prone to damage if cleaned too frequently, do
not perform cleaning more than necessary.
