4-2 When Head Cleaning Is Not Effective 
Performing More Powerful Cleaning 
When the problems such as dot drop-out are not cleared up by the "normal cleaning," try the more forceful "medium clean-
ing" or the even more forceful "powerful cleaning." Note, however, that this consumes more ink than "normal cleaning," and 
too-frequent use may damage the print heads themselves. Avoid using it more than necessary.
In the same way as for normal cleaning, choose and clean only the group of a head that are incapable of correct printing.
1.Choose "medium cleaning" or "powerful cleaning."
Press.
Use
to  choose  "MEDIUM  CL."  or  "POWERFUL 
CL."
2.Specify the head group to clean.
Press.
Useto choose the group of heads that is not to be 
cleaned.
Use
to get rid of the group display.
Repeat  this  procedure  to  display  the  groups  of  only  the  heads 
that require cleaning.
Of groups A through C, cleaning is performed only for the groups displayed. 
If the Printing-test Results Are Difficult to Interpret 
Examine  the  results  from  different  angles  in  a  well-lighted  location.  Take  advantage  of  reflected  light 
to enable visual checking. We recommend performing the printing test on transparent or silver-colored 
media.
