Auto Head Cleaning (Optional from FastRIP)
A new feature of FastRIP 9.0 is the ability to schedule an Auto Head Cleaning
session. One of the most common problems with printing white ink is the ink’s
tendency to clog the Print Heads. The ink must also be agitated on a regular
basis to keep its pigments from settling within the bottle. The Auto Head Cleaning
function tells the printer to perform a Head Cleaning during the night, helping to
prevent ink settling and head clogging- leaving your Fast T-Jet Blazer ready to
print rst thing in the morning.
To utilize the Auto Head Cleaning function, you must set it up within the FastRIP
interface on your computer. For the scheduled session to take place, DO NOT
turn OFF your printer when you have completed your day.
