Flush Print-heads

Use this function to clean the print-heads far more thoroughly. It consumes much more ink than head cleaning.

Use this function only if repeated head cleaning fails to reactivate a mis- or nonfiring nozzle. Perform this function on a color basis.

Important

  • Flushing consumes ink. Perform this function only when necessary.

  • Perform no other operations during flushing.

  • Flushing is not possible if even one color has run out.

  • Flushing may be incomplete if ink in a cartridge gets too low or runs out during flushing.

  • An error will occur and flushing will not be possible if:

    • There is a misfeed.

    • One of the machine's covers is open.

    • The machine is performing maintenance operations.

    • The machine has run out of ink.

    • The machine has run out of paper.
