1.3.29 Purge Operation (Maintenance mode 76)

< Function >
The machine can carry out several types of purge operations--normal purge, periodical reset
purge, power purge, initial purge, user reset purge, and engine setup purge. This function allows
you to select the desired purge type and carry it out.
< Operating Procedure >
(1) Press the 7 and 6 keys in this order in the initial stage of the maintenance mode.
The "CLEANING ALL" appears on the LCD.
(2) Press the < or > key to display the target color for purge on the LCD.
"CLEANING ALL": Purge for all four color inks
"CLEANING BLACK": Purge for black ink
"CLEANING MAGENTA" / "CLEANING CYAN" / "CLEANING YELLOW": Any color
choice performs purge for all three color inks.
(3) Enter the purge code according to the table on the next page.
(4) Press the Mono key. The LCD displays "Cleaning."
Upon completion of purging, the machine automatically returns to the initial stage of the
maintenance mode.
Notes • Before performing a purge operation, confirm that the ink cartridge that has enough
remaining has been installed.
• This machine counts all purge operations and flushing operations performed since
produced in order to prevent the ink absorber box and flushing box from overflowing
with drained and flushed ink, respectively. An initial purge, for example, advances by
832. If purges for all four color inks are carried out at the same time, the purge count is
not always equal to the total of black and color ink purge counts.
• When the purge or flushing count reaches the upper limit, the "Unable to Print 46"
appears, and further purge or flushing operations are prohibited. Replace the ink
absorber box or flushing box and then reset the corresponding count using the
procedure given below.
