Use this option also when nozzles cannot be fixed by cleaning repeatedly.
The Printer has an internal clock which allows it to automatically wash the print heads, flushing some ink through
the print heads, which keeps the print heads in good condition. The Printer automatically washes the print heads
72 hours after the last printing, and then regularly washes every 3 days.
If the Printer has been left turned on and has not been used for 2 weeks or longer, it is necessary to wash the
print heads, charge the ink system, and perform daily maintenance using the procedure below.
If you have to keep the Printer turned off for a long without using it, first perform a service cleaning using the

Prevent the media from sticking and wrinkling
■ Decrease the platen suction fan level
The vacuum pressure applied to the media in the printing zone helps to hold the media down on the platen,
which keeps the distance from media to print heads constant.
When the media sticks to the platen, set the vacuum pressure to LOW. The LOW vacuum pressure is also effective
when your media is so flexible and easily wrinkled.
