— ——INK LEFT This shows the amount of ink left after each of the ink cartridges has
been installed.
The fewer the markers ("
"), the less ink is left.
* If a partially used ink cartridge is removed and reinstalled, or if a
partially used ink cartridge is installed, the cartridge is "read" as
unused, and the displayed amount of remaining ink is not true.
For more information, see "Maintenance -- Check how much ink
remains."

HEAD
CLEANING
MEDIUM
POWERFUL
——You can use the [TEST PRINT] key to perform a printing test and
check the printing quality before starting to print. This also cleans the
printing heads if there is a problem in the printing test.
Normally cleaning is performed by pressing the [CLEANING] key on
the control panel, but if doing so doesn’t correct the problem, use this
menu to perform cleaning.
Because cleaning subjects the head to wear and consumes ink, it should
only be performed when absolutely necessary.
Performing cleaning from the [POWERFUL] menu in particular
subjects the head to early wear and used up large amounts of ink.
[MEDIUM]: This is used when performing cleaning by pressing the
[CLEANING] key does not correct the problem. After cleaning, carry
out a printing test to make sure there are no problems with printing
quality.
[POWERFUL]: Used when performing cleaning with [MEDIUM]
several times does not restore the printing quality. After cleaning,
carry out a printing test to make sure there are no problems with
printing quality.
For more information, see "MAINTENANCE -- Cleaning the Printing
Heads."
