Explanation
A check pattern is printed to check for clogged nozzles in the
print head. Inspect the printed pattern visually and perform
head cleaning if there are faint or missing colors.
"Checking for clogged nozzles" on page 100
U
The printer automatically checks for clogged nozzles and then
performs head cleaning with the appropriate strength.
If the clogs are not cleared after doing this, then do in the order
of Cleaning(Light), Cleaning(Medium) and Cleaning(Heavy)
until the clogs are cleared.
You can set one of three types of print head cleaning levels.
Perform Cleaning(Light) first. If the clogs are not cleared after
doing this, then do Cleaning(Medium), and then
Cleaning(Heavy).
Find the number of the patterns with faint or missing areas on
the printed check pattern sheet, and then you can specify and
clean all nozzle rows or clean specific nozzle rows for the white
or color print heads.

Use this menu when replacing maintenance parts before the
message indicating it is time to replace maintenance parts is
displayed on the control panel screen.
Be sure to use this menu to clean the Print Head and edges of the
metal. Also, use this menu when cleaning the Suction Cap and
Sensor Cover before the message indicating it is time to clean
them is displayed on the control panel screen.
You cannot clean them correctly unless the Print Head and
platen are moved to the maintenance positions.
Always perform this maintenance if the printer will not be used
(and will be switched off) for one month or more.
