Solution
Clean the Print Head if lines are missing or if white streaks appear in the printed nozzle check pattern. Cleaning unclogs the nozzles and restores the print head condition. Note that cleaning the Print Head causes used ink to be absorbed in the ink absorber. Cleaning the Print Head consumes ink, so perform Print Head Cleaning only when necessary.
1. Make sure that the machine is turned on.
2. Start Print Head Cleaning.
(1) Press the Menu button repeatedly until MAINTENANCE appears.
(2) Press the or button to select CLEANING, then press the OK button.
Print Head Cleaning starts.
Do not perform any other operations until Print Head Cleaning finishes. This takes about 50 seconds.
3. Confirm the condition of the Print Head.
When Print Head Cleaning finishes, the LCD returns to the standby mode.
Print the nozzle check pattern to check the print head condition.
NOTE
If the problem is not resolved after performing Print Head Cleaning twice, try Print Head Deep Cleaning.
