13-6 Maintaining the MultiPASS 1000 Chapter 13
Cleaning the Print Head
The print head contains nozzles through which ink is propelled
onto the paper. The print head nozzles must be free from paper
particles and dust in order to maintain a high level of print quality.
The MultiPASS 1000 has an automatic cleaning function that clears
away paper particles and dust. The MultiPASS 1000 initiates this
automatic cleaning function each time you turn the printer on.
However, you can manually activate the print head cleaning
procedure whenever print quality is poor.
N
You must clean the print head when installing a new BX-2 or
BC-02 ink cartridge to ensure the best possible print quality.
