In case the manua l purge was carried out 3 times by pressing the Clean button on the
control panel, the PP begins automatically and continuously after the 3rd single purge

The special purge sequence starts when the two conditions below are achieved.
- The printer is powered ON, in the Ready status and is connected to a PC.
- Pressing the Clean button on the control panel 3 times within 1 hour.
Note: As the Windows printer driver sends a command to execute the PP, the
printer must be connected to a PC.
The number of manual purges executed by the Windows printer driver is not
