MEMO
Whether the symptom can be alleviated or not depends on the temperature and the type of object to be printed on. Be sure to
check the print status as you adjust the seng.
However, the purpose of the carriage fan is to prevent ink buildup on the surface of print heads. Lowering its rotaon will lead
to more dot drop-outs. This means, if you specify "MIDDLE""LOW" or "OFF", you should perform normal cleaning more fre-
quently. The "PERIODIC CL.” (Prevenng Soiling of the Object to Be Printed On and Dot Drop-out(P. 76)) seng is also eecve
against dot drop-outs.
