Printing Tests and Normal Cleaning
Make sure to perform a printing test in the following cases. Perform normal cleaning when there is a dot
drop-out.
When starting operation for the day
When ending operation for the day
Carry out printing tests periodically during daily operations also to make sure no dot drop-out occurs.
If dot drop-out occurs in a printing test, perform cleaning of the print heads (Normal Cleaning). Leaving the
dot drop-out untreated may damage the print heads. Please make sure to check each day after operation.
