Using the [Maintenance] Menu
You can specify machine 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 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 the [
] or [
/Menu] key.
Default: [On]
Dry-delay (Exit)
To prevent spoiling of printed copies, select a print delivery interval to allow them to dry.

Default: [Off]
Dry-delay (Dup)
To prevent spoiling of duplex-printed copies, select a print delivery interval to allow them to dry.
The interval must be long enough to allow a duplex-printed sheet to dry. You can specify an interval between 1 and 20 seconds.
Default: [Off]
Paper Feed Test
You can eject a sheet of paper without printing anything on it.
De-condensation
To remove moisture from inside the machine, you can eject three sheets of paper without printing anything on them.
