Performing Maintenance using the Control Panel (Maintenance Menu)

You can print a test pattern to check whether the inks are being correctly ejected from the print head nozzles.

You can clean the print head.

Clean the head if certain colors are not printed or are printed faintly.

Head cleaning consumes ink.

You can clean the print head more thoroughly.

Because head flushing consumes more ink than head cleaning, do it only if the print head cannot be cleaned properly by head cleaning.

If bidirectionally printed lines are vertically misaligned, or if printed images are blurred, print the test pattern and adjust the print head alignment.

If printed lines are horizontally misaligned or if images are printed unevenly, print the test pattern and adjust the paper feed setting.

Print the test pattern and align the point where printing starts for each paper feed tray.

The key repeat function allows you to specify setting values in units of ten or scroll the display quickly by pressing and holding down a control panel key. You can enable or disable this function.
