around the Print Head. Remaining drops of ink will stick to the
continuity measurement portion of the Adjustment Gauge, and
generate continuity before the continuity measurement portion
makes contact with the metal frame around the Print Head,
interrupting accurate PG Adjustment.
 As the ink in the Print Head may stick fast and damage the
Print Head during PG Adjustment, make the continuity time
detected with a tester as short as possible. (Maximum 3
minutes)
