5.5.1.3 Performing the CL operation for 2 ~ 3 times
This section describes the cleaning operation if you find a print missing on the 360-DPI check pattern. You
need a confirmation either the CL opeartion is correctly performed or not in this function..
[Step1] Perform the CL operation. (Under the pause state, pressing the Clening button)
[Step2] Pay attention to the sponge in the cap either the ink is correctly supplied or not ( In case of color
head installed, the color of YMC becomes clear from the right side. In case of black head installed,
the sponge becomes black evenly.)
[Step3] If an ink is not correctly supplied, check the under items before you advance to next step
before going to the next step on the main flow chart.
■ Observing the cap from above, make sure there are not any bents , holes or scars on the surface.
Note: If you can not find any problems about the pump unit system or the above contents, there
is a possibility that an ink in the ink cartridge has already emptied in spite of any counter
values, so that it is necessary to replace to the brand-new ink cartridge Also, if user
perform removing or installing with the same ink cartridge, it will not recover the
dot-missing every time you perform the CL operation, because the constructure of the
print head is very complex as compair to previous head system. Therefore, replace to the
brand-new ink cartridge at this time.
