Performing Maintenance using the Control Panel (Maintenance Menu)

Using the Maintenance menu, you can specify printer maintenance settings for adjusting settings such as gradation and density.

Nozzle Check

Print a test pattern to check that print head nozzles become clogged.

If nozzle problems occur, print head nozzles become clogged and ink cannot be ejected properly. This will result in lower print quality.

Head-cleaning

You can clean the print head.

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

Head cleaning consumes ink.

Head-flushing

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.

Head Position

You can resolve problems such as lines that are printed vertically misaligned or blurred colors.

Adj.Paper Feed

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

Registration

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

Date/Time

You can specify the date and time.

Key Repeat

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.

Dry-delay (Dup)

The interval must be long enough to allow a duplex-printed sheet to dry.

The GX e2600 has no duplex printing capability and therefore does not feature this function.
