Maintenance

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.

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.

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

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

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

To prevent single sides of each sheet of paper from being spoiled, specify long print delivery intervals so that the printed sides can be dry. A value you can specify for an interval is between 1and 20 seconds.

Default: [Off]

To prevent both sides of each sheet of paper from being spoiled, specify long print delivery intervals so that the printed sides can be dry. A value you can specify for an interval is between 1and 20 seconds.

Default: [Off]

You can eject a sheet of paper without printing anything on it.

To remove moisture from inside the machine, you can eject three sheets of paper without printing anything on them.

You can check the remaining capacity of the ink collector unit.
