executed on the assumption that roll paper is used. Take care,
since even sheets, if loaded, are handled as roll paper.
During execution of this function, detection of remaining
volume in ink cartridges and Maintenance Tank is not
performed. Therefore, when you execute this function for print
head replacement or any other work which requires

Maintenance Tank can be exceeded so that ink may flow out;
never forget to perform this checking.)
