material, this can be specified when printing in a specific area.

—Before starting to print, you can carry out a printing test to check the
printing quality.
If the printing test shows a problem, clean the printing head.
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.
[TEST PRINT]: Performs a printing test. If a problem is found, then
continue by carrying out cleaning.
[BOTH MEDIUM]/[RIGHT MEDIUM]/[LEFT MEDIUM]: Performs
cleaning of the printing heads. After cleaning, carry out a printing test
to make sure there are no problems with printing quality.
Normally, head cleaning should be performed by pressing the
[CLEANING] key.
[BOTH POWERFUL]/[RIGHT POWERFUL]/[LEFT 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 "2-4 Test Printing" and "3-3 Cleaning the
Printing Heads."
