Basic Operation
Recovering the Clogged Nozzle by Compensating
with Another Nozzle
Register a clogged nozzle and compensate it with another nozzle. Perform this function when
nozzle clogging is not resolved even after performing head cleaning and corrective measures for
nozzle clogging. Recovering the clogged nozzle may not be enough to fully compensate for a
clogged nozzle.
• When registering clogged nozzles, make sure to restart the RIP software. RIP software
performs corrections based on the setting information of the machine to create the optimal
printing image. When printing without the registration information of the clogged nozzle
updated by the RIP software, the print result may be different than expected. For details,
see the RIP software manual.
• Printing the test pattern consumes ink. Perform this function only when necessary.
• Perform no other operations while the test pattern is printing.
• An error will occur and test pattern will not print if:
• There is a misfeed.
• One of the machine's covers is open.
• The machine is performing maintenance operations.
• The machine has run out of ink.
• The machine has run out of media.
• Make sure to switch [Nozzle Recovery] to [Off] after nozzle defects are cleared. If you
continue to print with [Nozzle Recovery] set to [On], it may cause image quality defects.
• When using white ink, a clogged nozzle cannot be detected automatically. Compensating
for a clogged nozzle that discharges white ink must be done manually. For details, see
"Compensating the Clogged Nozzle Manually".
Compensating the Clogged Nozzle Automatically
After the nozzle check pattern is printed, the colorimetric sensor automatically detects and
registers a clogged nozzle. After registering a clogged nozzle, make sure to enable [Nozzle
Recovery].
1. Press the [Maintenance] key.
