nozzle check results contained faint or missing segments. You can select multiple
nozzle arrays.

5. Select a cleaning level and press the Z button.
The menu will close when cleaning is complete. Print a nozzle pattern and inspect the

Clogged Nozzles” on page 81.
If you paused the printer in step 1, printing will resume when head cleaning is complete;
check the printout to confirm whether the problem has been resolved.
Maintenance Around the Print Head
The printer requires cleaning and part replacement around the print head to maintain print
quality; the maintenance schedule depends on the frequency with which the printer is
used.
Failure to perform appropriate maintenance will shorten product life.
❏ Use the d/u buttons to choose the nozzle arrays with faint or missing segments in the nozzle
check pattern and press the Z button.
❏ After selecting the arrays you wish to clean, select Proceed and press the Z button.
