7-19 ● Cleaning the Gutter
7.8 Cleaning the Gutter
● When the ink recovery system is dry or its inner ink flow is restricted, you can
clean the path between the gutter and ink main tank by performing the "gutter
cleaning" procedure set forth below.
● Gutter cleaning cannot be carried out during ink ejection. Initiate the gutter
cleaning procedure with the printer placed in the "Stop" state.
● Have on hand a beaker and the cleaning bottle filled with the makeup ink, and then
remove the print head cover.
● If you perform the gutter cleaning procedure repeatedly, the ink becomes
thin, causing print irregularities. If such a situation occurs, you would be
obliged to replace the ink after achieving recovery. To avoid such a
problem, do not repeat the gutter cleaning procedure more than two times.
Open the "Circulation control" screen and then sequentially
press the Gutter cleaning key and Start/Continue key.
