Preventing Ink Discharge Issues
Preventing Soiling of the Media, Dot Drop-out, and Dot Displacement
Printing by removing the ink buildup on the print head surface before or during printing prevents soiling of the
media, dot drop-out, and dot displacement.
In the following cases, ink tends to collect on the surface of the print heads.
• When you use media prone to static electricity buildup.
• When the ambient temperature is low.
• When the print-head height is set to "HIGH".

1. Optimizing the Output Quality
Automatic cleaning is not performed.
Automatic cleaning is performed each time prior to the start of printing.
Automatic cleaning is performed when the cumulative printing time
reaches the value you set here. However, if this time is reached during
printing, automatic cleaning is performed before the next printing opera-
tion starts. Because printing is not paused, uneven color issues due to
paused operation do not occur.
Automatic cleaning is performed when the cumulative printing time
reaches the value you set here. When this time is reached during print-
ing, printing pauses and so colors may be uneven.
