Item Explanation
ALIGN PRNT-HDS This item aligns the printheads to ensure printout of the best
possible print quality.
CLEAN PRNT-HD:
LEVEL 1 This item cleans the printheads. Level 1 is the basic level and
should be performed first. This option will cause the printer to
perform a dry wipe and spitting.
CLEAN PRNT-HD:
LEVEL 2 This item cleans the printheads. Level 2 is more thorough than
Level 1, but it should be performed only when Level 1 cleaning
does not solve the print quality problem. This option will cause
the printer to perform a wet wipe, followed by a dry wipe and
spitting.
CLEAN PRNT-HD:
LEVEL 3 This item cleans the printheads. Level 3 is most thorough, but it
should be performed only when Levels 1 and 2 cleaning do not
solve the print quality problem, as it uses the most ink. This
option will cause the printer to perform 3 wet wipes followed
by dry wipes and spitting. The maximum amount of ink used is
less than 0.1 cc.
