2.Regular Maintenance
Powerful Cleaning Method
The print heads are important components that discharge ink. They require periodic and appropri-
ate maintenance. When problems such as dot drop-out are not resolved by medium cleaning (
P. 18
"Medium Cleaning Method"
), perform the more forceful "powerful cleaning" to remove clogging from the
print heads.
IMPORTANT
Powerful cleaning consumes more ink than medium cleaning, and overly frequent use may dam-
age the print heads themselves. Avoid performing this operaon more than necessary.
