Flush Print-heads
Use this function to clean the print-heads far more thoroughly. It consumes much more ink than head
cleaning.
Use this function only if repeated head cleaning fails to reactivate a mis- or nonfiring nozzle. Perform this
function on a color basis.
• Flushing consumes ink. Perform this function only when necessary.
• Perform no other operations during flushing.
• Flushing is not possible if even one color has run out.
• Flushing may be incomplete if ink in a cartridge gets too low or runs out during flushing.
• An error will occur and flushing will not be possible if:
• There is a misfeed.
• One of the machine's covers is open.
• The machine is performing maintenance operations.
• The machine has run out of ink.
• The machine has run out of paper.
