1.3.29 Purge Operation (Maintenance mode 76)

< Function >
The machine can carry out several types of purge operations--normal purge, periodical
reset purge, power purge, initial purge, user reset purge, and engine setup purge. This
function allows you to select the desired purge type and carry it out.
< Operating Procedure >
(1) Press the 7 and 6 keys in this order in the initial stage of the maintenance mode.
The "CLEANING ALL" appears on the LCD.
(2) Press the < or > key to display the target color for purge on the LCD.
"CLEANING ALL": Purge for all four color inks
"CLEANING BLACK": Purge for black ink
"CLEANING MAGENTA" / "CLEANING CYAN" / "CLEANING YELLOW": Any color
choice performs purge for all three color inks.
(3) Enter the purge code according to the table on the next page.
(4) Press the Mono Start key. The LCD displays "CLEANING".
Upon completion of purging, the machine automatically returns to the initial stage
of the maintenance mode.
Notes • Before performing a purge operation, be sure to check that ink cartridges with
the sufficient amount of ink remaining are mounted.
• This machine counts all purge operations and flushing operations performed
since produced in order to prevent the ink absorber box and flushing box from
overflowing with drained and flushed ink, respectively. An initial purge, for
example, advances by 832. If purges for all four color inks are carried out at the
same time, the purge count is not always equal to the total of black and color
ink purge counts.
• When the purge or flushing count reaches the upper limit, the "Unable to Print
46" appears, and further purge or flushing operations are prohibited. Replace
the ink absorber box or flushing box and then reset the corresponding count
using the procedure given below.
