Purge types, ink usage, purge counts, and purge codes
Purge Types
Normal purge This purge operation removes
dried ink sticking to the head
nozzles.
Periodical reset This purge operation removes
purge any bubbles that have
accumulated in the ink supply
tubes.
Power purge More powerful than a
periodical reset purge, this
purge operation is for
removing stubborn clogging
from the head nozzles and ink
supply tubes.
Initial purge When the user loads ink
cartridges for the first time,
this purge operation
automatically runs to refill the
ink supply tubes and print
head with fresh ink.
User reset purge This purge operation should
be performed if the print
quality problem persists after
a user has performed the
purge operation repeatedly by
pressing the Ink (Ink
Management) key.
Engine setup This purge operation refills
purge the ink supply tubes with ink
when there is no ink in those
tubes.
(Note) 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 the counter by 163 + 432 = 595. When
the purge or flushing counter approaches 9600 or 475852272, respectively, the "MACHINE
ERROR 46" appears, and further purge or flushing operations are prohibited. Replace the ink
absorber box and flushing box, and then reset their counters with the following procedure.
