When printing for the set number of pages is complete,
the printed check pattern is read by the sensor to
confirm that there is no clogging.
If no clogging is detected, printing continues.
If clogging is detected, head cleaning is automatically
performed and another check pattern is printed to
confirm that there is no clogging. If clogging is not
cleared even after performing this operation twice, a
message asking if you want to continue printing is
displayed.
