Maintenance Functions
That Can Be Executed
from the Printer
Print Head Nozzle Check and
Cleaning
If the nozzles are clogged, the printouts become faint,
or banding may appear. The printer has an auto nozzle
check function that automatically detects clogged
nozzles and does Print Head Cleaning or prints by
using normal nozzles to compensate for clogged
nozzles. Because of this, you do not need to regularly
do manual cleaning or Print Head Nozzle Check.
The auto nozzle check function is set from
Maintenance Tool.
