Daily Print Head Check

Printing Tests and Normal Cleaning

1.
Perform a printing test.
The print heads are important components that discharge ink. They require periodic and appropriate mainte-
nance. Before daily operations, perform a printing test to ensure that no dot drop-out or dot displacement occurs.
If dot drop-out or dot displacement occurs, perform cleaning of the print heads (normal cleaning).
MEMO
• This operation is unnecessary if you will only perform cutting.
• When performing printing tests successively, you can select "SCAN" (vertical printing) or "FEED" (horizontal printing) as the print
position for the 2nd and later tests in comparison to the 1st test.
