4-2 Cleaning Using the Cleaning Kit
Cleaning using the cleaning kit should be carried out when automatic cleaning and forced cleaning from the [HEAD
CLEANING] menu fail to correct image drop-out. Remove any ink buildup of dust or grime around the printing heads,
which can cause image drop-out or ink drips. We also recommend performing periodic cleaning using the cleaning kit to
prevent problems like these during printing.
If image drop-out persists even after performing cleaning with the cleaning kit, or if the cleaning kit is used up, contact
your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer or Roland DG Corp. service center.
The heads are consumable parts. The useful life is six billion shots per nozzle.
