Recover Missing Ink Jets 5-7
Recover Missing
Ink Jets
The printer is designed to operate with a certain number of
missing (clogged or misfiring) inkjets that are substituted by
other working jets, without affecting print speed. If your daily
startup process (as described in “Daily Start up” on page 1-8)
fails to revive all missing jets, you can try the following
advanced jet recovery measures.
1. Select Perform an Air Purge from the menu (Menu > Main-
tenance > Perform an Air Purge).
2. From the control panel, select a color, a combination of col-
ors, or all colors to purge.
3. Select Performance Purge.
4. The carriage moves out of the wiping station.
5. Open the wiping station cover.
Tip
You may wish to wear gloves during this procedure
to prevent staining your hands with ink.
6. Press the ! (Proceed) key.
The carriage returns to the wiping station and purges the
color(s) that you selected.
7. Wipe the printheads by inserting the printhead wiper care-
fully into the wiping station channel under the printheads
you purged, lift up on the handle slightly, and pull it out
straight and level side-to-side (see
o in Fig. 5-5 below).
