When conducting on-site service or repairs, do not
select "Head Cleaning" as this requires a separate
head cleaning cartridge to work properly.


Select "Counter Clear" only when replacing the
Waste Ink Pads along with all replaceable parts of
Maintenance Assembly. See
Procedures on page 67.


Unless otherwise indicated, you should not use
costly roll paper to print the test patterns in this
section. Use standard cut-sheet sizes, 11 17 inch or
larger. For adjustments that require a high degree of
precision (Bi-D and head angle adjustments), be sure
to use coated ink jet paper.
