Print Head Cleaning Method
Types of Cleaning and Order of
Implementation
There are two types of cleaning, Forced Cleaning,
which is cleaning the print head manually, and
Diagnostic Cleaning, which detects clogged nozzles
and cleans the print head automatically.
First, implement Diagnostic Cleaning.
After that, when "Diagnostic cleaning is finished.
Clogged nozzles detected. Perform diagnostic cleaning
again.” is displayed on screen, implement Diagnostic
Cleaning again.
If the clogged nozzles are not cleared after repeating
Diagnostic Cleaning three times, then do Forced
Cleaning set to Power.
Diagnostic Cleaning

Click Diagnostic Cleaning on the main screen.
The Diagnostic Cleaning screen is displayed.

Select Normal or Saving Ink, and then click
Execute.
Normal prints a check pattern on roll paper and
automatically checks the status of the nozzles.
Roll paper must be loaded on the printer.
Saving Ink does not print a check pattern and
automatically checks the state of the nozzles,
whether roll paper or cut sheets are loaded on
the printer.
The nozzle check starts and cleaning is executed
if necessary.
The time needed for cleaning varies according
to the status of the nozzles.

Check the results of Diagnostic Cleaning in the
message displayed on the screen.
When the message "Diagnostic cleaning
completed." is displayed, the work is complete.
When "Diagnostic cleaning is finished. Clogged
nozzles detected. Perform diagnostic cleaning
again.” is displayed, execute Diagnostic
Cleaning again.
If the clogged nozzles are not cleared after
repeating Diagnostic Cleaning three times,
then execute Forced Cleaning set to Power.
