Check the amount of usage for the individual print heads and to
reset the print head counters. The printer keeps track of how many
times each print head is fired during printing and displays this
information on a graph.
1. While in the Maintenance menu, press the ◄ (left) or ► (right)
menu browse key until HeadService is displayed in the lower right
corner of the LCD.
2. Press the Select or ▼ (down) menu browse key to access the
HeadService options.
The following describes the options available:
The dot counters for the print heads can be reset to zero. This
procedure is normally used after the installation of a new print head.
Resetting this counter arbitrarily is not recommended because this
counter is used to track print head life.
Make sure the correct print head number is displayed before
clearing the counter. Once a counter is reset to zero, it cannot
be set back to its original count.
1. While in the HeadService menu, press the ◄ (left) or ► (right)
menu browse key until Dot Counts is displayed in the lower right
corner of the LCD.
2. Press the Select key to access the Dot Counts option. The
individual print head number will be displayed followed by the
number of times the individual print head has been fired. In the
example to the left, XX represents the print head number and
nnnnnnnnn represents a number. Use the ◄ (left) or ► (right)
menu browse key to locate the desired print head counter.
3. Press the Select key to reset the count.
Repeat this section as often as necessary to reset a print head
counter.
