2. CLEANING MODE AND AMOUNT OF INK PURGED
To prevent printing problems due to bubbles, dust, or ink clogging, print head cleaning is performed
before the start of printing, except in the following cases:
- Cleaning on arrival: Performed when the access cover is closed.
- Cleaning by dot count: Performed after ejection of paper (or after printing on the back side of paper
when auto duplex printing is performed).
- Manual cleaning / deep cleaning: Performed manually.
