Description
Under some printing conditions (such as low temperature or when a static charge is likely), a greater amount
of ink mist (ink spatter during printing) may be produced and adversely affect the print quality. In these cases,
you may be able to alleviate the symptom by lowering the rotation of the carriage fan. Whether the symptom
can be alleviated or not depends on the temperature and media type. Be sure to check the print status as you
adjust the setting.
However, the purpose of the carriage fan is to prevent ink buildup on the surface of print heads. Lowering its
rotation will lead to more dot drop-outs. This means if you set it to "Middle", "Low", or "Off", you should perform
normal cleaning more frequently. The "PERIODIC CL." setting is also effective against dot drop-outs .
