Cleaning the Print Head

The LR1 is equipped with two print head cleaning functions: normal print head cleaning and a more powerful deep print head cleaning.

Only execute deep print head cleaning when the print quality does not improve after executing normal print head cleaning.

Perform print head cleaning only when necessary; unnecessary and repetitious print head cleaning wastes ink. Deep print head cleaning consumes a particularly large amount of ink.

Normal Print Head Cleaning

Make sure the printer is turned on.

The green POWER light is on.

Press and hold the RESUME/CLEAN button until you hear two beeps, then release the button.

Cleaning begins. The BUSY light flashes during cleaning. When cleaning is finished, the BUSY light goes out.

Print a Nozzle Check Pattern (see page 2-2).

If broken lines appear, repeat the above operation two or three times. If broken lines still appear in the Nozzle Check Pattern, execute deep print head cleaning.
