Performing Maintenance Using The Control Panel (Maintenance Menu) - Ricoh Aficio GX7000 User Manual

Performing Maintenance using the Control
Panel (Maintenance Menu)
Using the Maintenance menu, you can specify printer maintenance settings for adjusting settings such as
gradation and density.
Nozzle Check
You can print a test pattern to check whether the inks are being correctly ejected from the print head
nozzles.
Head-cleaning
You can clean the print head.
Clean the head if certain colors are not printed or are printed faintly.
Head cleaning consumes ink.
Head-flushing
You can clean the print head more thoroughly.
Because head flushing consumes more ink than head cleaning, do it only if the print head cannot be
cleaned properly by head cleaning.
Head Position
If bidirectionally printed lines are vertically misaligned, or if printed images are blurred, print the test
pattern and adjust the print head alignment.
Adj.Paper Feed
If printed lines are horizontally misaligned or if images are printed unevenly, print the test pattern and
adjust the paper feed setting.
Registration
Print the test pattern and align the point where printing starts for each paper feed tray.
Key Repeat
The key repeat function allows you to specify setting values in units of ten or scroll the display quickly
by pressing and holding down a control panel key. You can enable or disable this function.
