Checking For Nozzle Clogging, And Unclogging Nozzles; Printing A Test Pattern (Test Printing) - MIMAKI JV5-130S Operation Manual

CHAPTER 3 Print Output

Checking for nozzle clogging, and unclogging nozzles

Print a test pattern and check to see if there is no faulty print due to clogged nozzles.
If any, execute the cleaning function.
To print a test pattern on a cut sheet media, use a media whose size is not
smaller than 350 mm in width and 600 mm in length (dimension in the media
feed direction).
After test printing on a roll media, pressing the [REMOTE] or [FUNCTION] key
will return the media to the printing origin. Then the roll media in the rear of the
printer will slacken.
Before next printing, take up the slack in the roll media by hand; a loose roll
media can result in an inferior image quality.

1

No further operation is needed when there is no abnormality in the printed pattern.
