like nozzle washing fail to resolve ejection failures (e.g., nozzle
clogging or deflection).
P.4-12 [Nozzle recovery function]
- Prints a pattern for checking and registering nozzle conditions.
- Registers the nozzle without printing a pattern.

cleaning and the time for leaving during head nozzle cleaning.
Setting a leaving time will leave the nozzle surface immersed in the
maintenance liquid before cleaning. This helps to prevent nozzle
clogging.
- Set the interval between cleaning.
Normal / Soft / Set the type of cleaning.
