Description
Under some 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 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 print heads. Lowering its rotation will
lead to more dot drop-outs. This means, if you specify "MIDDLE," "LOW," or "OFF," you should perform normal
cleaning more frequently. The "PERIODIC CL." setting is also effective against dot drop-outs .
