Purge types, ink used, purge counts, and purge trigger keys
Purge Types
Normal purge This purge operation removes
dried ink sticking to the head
nozzles.
Power purge More powerful than a reset
purge, this purge operation is
for removing stubborn
clogging from the head nozzles
and ink supply tubes.
Initial purge Run automatically when the
user powers up this machine
for the first time, this purge
operation refills the ink supply
tubes and print head with fresh
ink.
Reset purge This purge operation removes
any bubbles that have
accumulated in the ink supply
tubes.
Engine setup purge This purge operation refills the
ink supply tubes with ink when
there is no ink in those tubes.
Cartridge This purge operation must
replacement purge follow ink cartridge
replacement.
Ink drain purge This purge operation drains all
(not used) ink from the supply system,
permitting repairs without the
risk of scattering ink all over
the surroundings.
Initial liquid This purge operation
substitute purge substitutes ink in the ink supply
(not used) tubes and print head with initial
liquid.
(Note) This machine counts all purge operations performed since produced in order to prevent the ink
absorber box from overflowing with drained ink. An initial purge, for example, advances the
counter by 187 + 420 = 607. When the counter approaches 10200, "MACHINE ERROR 46"
appears, and further purge operations are prohibited. Replace the ink absorber box and reset
the purge counter with the following procedure.
