If Performing Cleaning Several Times at the [POWERFUL]
Menu Does Not Correct the Drop-out Problem
If performing cleaning several times at the [POWERFUL] menu does not correct the image drop-out problem, use the included cleaning
kit. For information on how to use the cleaning kit, refer to the following section, "Using the Cleaning Kit to Clean the Printing Heads."

Using the Cleaning Kit to Clean the Printing Heads

If image drop-out persists even after performing cleaning with the cleaning kit, contact your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer or
Roland DG Corp. service center.
The heads are consumable parts. The useful life is six billion shots per nozzle.
Cleaning using the cleaning kit should be carried out when automatic cleaning and forced cleaning from the
[HEAD CLEANING] menu fail to correct image drop-out.
Before starting cleaning, read through this section carefully to familiarize yourself with the procedures, then
carry out the cleaning operations quickly.
Cleaning is performed while the caps on the printing heads are detached, so cleaning must be completed
before the heads dry out. It is suggested that cleaning be completed in ten minutes or less.
If it appears that cleaning operations may take more than ten minutes, stop the cleaning operations and
follow the steps below.
1. Return the carriage to standby position and cap the heads.
2. Attach the cover and tighten the screws.
3. Switch on the power, and from the [HEAD CLEANING] menu, carry out cleaning of the heads.
4. When the head cleaning ends, perform cleaning using the cleaning kit again.
