Cleaning All Print Heads
In this operation, all inks within the printer are discharged, and the interior is cleaned. Ink is
relled after cleaning.
This operation requires six unused SOL INK cleaning cartridges (four for cleaning and two for relling ink).
Have these on hand before you start.
* The eect on white ink and gloss ink is the same as
P. 67, "When Dot Drop-out of White or Gloss Ink Cannot be
Cleared Up". If you want to perform maintenance only on white and gloss ink, see P. 67.
Important Notes on This Procedure
 All inks are discharged in this operation. Perform this operation when all procedures such
as "Normal", "Medium", "Powerful", and "Manual" cleaning, and measures to improve ink
emission aws (such as dot drop-out) do not improve the symptoms.
 P. 56, "Maintenance that Should Be Performed Daily"
 P. 60, "Medium and Powerful Cleaning"
 P. 62, "Manual Cleaning"
 Be sure to use SOL INK cleaning cartridges. Use of any other type may result in break-
down.
 When the cleaning ends, ll with ink as soon as possible. Allowing the machine to stand
without ink may damage the print heads.
