Cleaning the Nozzle Faces of the Print Heads

When nozzle clogging defects cannot be resolved even when performing head cleaning or air purging,
clean the nozzle faces of the print heads.
• Do not place any object on the platen as the carriage moves there.
• When the carriage moves, it may make contact with media. Check that the media is not deformed
or that there is no floating media.
• When 10 minutes or more have passed after the carriage moves, the machine will make a buzzer
sound. As nozzle dryness may cause a nozzle defect, perform nozzle maintenance promptly.
• For cleaning liquid, use only the manufacturer-recommended cleaning liquid bottle. For details, see
page 60 "List of Consumables".
