Parameter Explanation
Off Choose the frequency with which the printer prints a nozzle test pattern:
never (Off) or once every 1 to 10 pages. Periodic test patterns will not be
1 to 10 pages
printed while Off is selected. To print a test pattern at the top of every 1 to
10 pages, select an option between 1 and 10. When printing is complete,
you can visually inspect the pattern to determine whether there may be
faint or missing colors in the preceding or following printout.
Off, 1 to 240 hours Choose the strength and the frequency - never (Off) or after 1 to 240 hours
- with which the printer performs head cleaning. Periodical Cleaning will
not be performed while Off is selected. If a value between 1 and 240 hours
is selected, auto head cleaning will be performed after the specified
number of hours. If printing is in progress when the specified time has
elapsed, Periodical Cleaning will only be performed after printing is
complete or the printer is reactivated.

Note that even when Off is selected for Periodical Cleaning, the printer will
automatically clean the print head at a fixed interval after printing to keep
the nozzle from clogging.
Off Choose the frequency with which the printer performs auto head
cleaning: never (Off) or once every 1 to 10 pages. The Cleaning Cycle will
1 to 10 pages
not be performed while Off is selected. Select 1 to 10 to perform head
cleaning before the specified number of pages is printed.
15 to 240 minutes You can turn off the after heater automatically when no errors are
detected and no print jobs are in progress. This option is used to choose
the interval before the after heater turns off automatically.
The printer will enter sleep mode when the Heat Off Timer expires. In sleep
mode, the control panel turns off and the internal motors and other
components consume less power.
To reactivate the control panel display, press any button in the control
panel except the P button. The control panel display will however turn off
again if no operations are performed for another 30 seconds under these
conditions. The printer and heaters are only fully reactivated when a print
job is received, the media loading lever is used, or another operation
involving printer hardware is performed.
15 to 240 minutes The printer will enter sleep mode if no errors have occurred, no print jobs
have been received, and no actions are performed on the control panel for
an extended period of time.
This setting selects the amount of time until the printer enters sleep mode.
