3-2 Checking the Remaining Ink Level
You can use [INK REMAINING] on the display menu to check how much ink is left after the ink cartridges have been installed.
Use this information as a guide for replacing the ink cartridges.
If a partially used ink cartridge is removed and reinstalled, or if a partially used ink cartridge is installed, the cartridge is taken to be
unused, and the displaced amount of remaining ink is not true.
Press the [MENU] key and [
] key to make the
following screen appear on the display.

3-3 Cleaning the Printing Heads
Switching on the sub power automatically performs maintenance operations, including cleaning of the printing head. This means that
there is normally no need to perform cleaning otherwise.
If drop-out occurs with printed images, clean the printing head.
* After cleaning, carry out a printing test. Load material.
Perform head cleaning only when there is dot drop-out (gaps) or printing becomes faint.
Performing head cleaning more than necessary subjects the heads to wear and consumes ink. In particular, cleaning
performed at the [POWERFUL] menu for [HEAD CLEANING] can cause premature head wear and consume large
amounts of ink. (Performing cleaning at the [POWERFUL] consumes approximately 45 cc of ink for each group.
This is because all ink in the ink tubes is discharged and replaced with fresh ink.)
Press the [ ] key to make the following screen appear
on the display.
The fewer the markers, the less is the amount of ink left.
