Powerful Cleaning Method
The print heads are important components that discharge ink. They require periodic and appropriate main-
tenance. When problems such as dot drop-out are not resolved by medium cleaning, perform the more
forceful "powerful cleaning" to remove clogging from the print heads.
Powerful cleaning consumes more ink than medium cleaning, and overly frequent use may damage the print heads
themselves. Avoid performing this operation more than necessary.

Perform a printing test again to check whether the dot drop-out and dot displacement have been
corrected.
• If the problem persists, try performing powerful cleaning again.
• This cleaning can be effective when carried out periodically, according to the frequency of use.
• If problems such as dot drop-out and dot displacement persist even after you have performed powerful
cleaning several times, perform "manual cleaning."
