Cleaning the Print Head
The LR1 is equipped with two print head cleaning functions: normal print head cleaning
and a more powerful deep print head cleaning.
Only execute deep print head cleaning when the print quality does not improve after
executing normal print head cleaning.
Perform print head cleaning only when necessary; unnecessary and repetitious
print head cleaning wastes ink. Deep print head cleaning consumes a
particularly large amount of ink.
Normal Print Head Cleaning
Make sure the printer is turned on.
The green
POWER light is on.
Press and hold the RESUME/CLEAN button until you hear two beeps, then
release the button.
Cleaning begins. The
BUSY light flashes during cleaning. When cleaning is
finished, the
BUSY light goes out.
Print a Nozzle Check Pattern (see page 2-2).
If broken lines appear, repeat the above operation two or three times. If broken
lines still appear in the Nozzle Check Pattern, execute deep print head cleaning.
