Nozzle Check And Cleaning - MUTOH VJ-426UF Operation Manual

Nozzle check and cleaning

Before starting everyday operation, please check the nozzle. If nozzle clog is found, conduct cleaning.
This printer has the following 2 kinds of nozzle checks:
• Nozzle Check - Prints the nozzle check patterns
• Nozzle Check B - checks the nozzle for white ink. Prints the nozzle check patterns on a colored background, to make it easy
to see the white ink nozzle's status.
Note
• "Nozzle Check B" will only appear in the menu if 6-color is set.
