Menu Structure
The device can use a cleaning cartridge from any slot, even if the slot is reserved. The
device keeps track of the usage count for each of the cleaning cartridges. When
multiple cleaning cartridges are available, the device will first choose an unknown
cleaning cartridge so the device can start tracking the cartridge usage count. If the
device knows the usage count for all of the cleaning cartridges, the device will choose
the one with the highest usage count.
Auto cleaning is disabled by default. You can enable automatic cleaning even if there
are no cleaning cartridges in the device. In this case, the device will display a warning
message
