Auto Maintenance Functions

Provides a variety of convenient automatic maintenance
settings.
• Automatic maintenance functions are disabled if
the warning message "Replace Waste Ink Tank"
appears . P.4-18 [Waste Ink Tank]
• When the power switch is turned off, check the
waste ink tank.
• After all manual maintenance is performed and
the specified time has elapsed, automatic main-
tenance will start.
Setting the refresh interval
Set the interval between ejection of a small amount of ink
from the nozzles to prevent nozzle clogging.
With the screen in local mode, select
1
[MENU] > [MAINTENANCE], and then press
the [ENTER] key.
• The Maintenance menu is displayed.

2
then press the [ENTER] key.

Setting the pump tube & nozzle wash
interval
To prevent ink clogging due to ink coagulation on the
waste ink draining channel and head nozzle surface, set
intervals for cleaning these areas. When cleaning head
nozzles, also set the leaving time (for immersing the
nozzle surface in maintenance liquid in the cap).
• When using this auto maintenance function,
always confirm that maintenance liquid is
loaded. Tube/nozzle cleaning cannot be per-
formed unless maintenance liquid is loaded.
This poses a risk of clogging the channel and
head nozzles.
• Hard cleaning is performed to wash the nozzles
(approx. 33 ml of ink is consumed each time).
Note that if this cleaning cannot be performed
(such as when there is not enough ink), only the
tube is cleaned, and nozzle washing will not
take place.
With the screen in local mode, select
1
[MENU] > [MAINTENANCE], and then press
the [ENTER] key.
• The Maintenance menu is displayed.
Select [AUTO MAINT.] > [PUMP TUBE &
2
NOZZLE WASH] > [INTERVAL], and then
press the [ENTER] key.
Set the pump tube/nozzle washing interval,

and then press the [ENTER] key.

Setting values vary depending on the type of ink
used.

[ENTER] key.

5
surface immersed in maintenance liquid,
and then press the [ENTER] key.
• Setting value: OFF / 1–99 (in 1-minute
increments)
• Setting this value to OFF will skip nozzle cleaning.
Only pump tube cleaning is performed.
• By default, the leaving time is set to OFF. For
this reason, nozzle cleaning is not performed. To
execute nozzle cleaning, set the leaving time.
The recommended value is 1 minute.

This function is used instead of pump tube/nozzle
washing when the maintenance liquid has been used up.

cleaning.
