Maintenance tab Description

The Maintenance tab allows you to perform printer maintenance or change the settings of the printer.
Cleaning
Performs print head cleaning.
Print head cleaning removes any blockage in the print head nozzles.
Perform cleaning when printing becomes faint, or a specific color fails to print, even though all ink levels
are sufficiently high.
Deep Cleaning
Performs deep cleaning.
Perform deep cleaning when two cleaning attempts do not resolve the print head problem.
Note
• Deep Cleaning consumes a larger amount of ink than Cleaning.
Cleaning the print heads frequently will rapidly deplete your printer's ink supply. Therefore, perform
cleaning only when necessary.
System Cleaning
Performs system cleaning.
Execute this function if the status does not improve even after deep cleaning is performed.
System Cleaning consumes an extremely large amount of ink.
Executing system cleaning frequently will rapidly deplete your printer's ink supply. Therefore execute
system cleaning only when necessary.
Ink Group
When you click Cleaning, Deep Cleaning or System Cleaning, the Ink Group window is
displayed.
Selects the ink group that you want to clean the print head for.
