User Mode Function Procedures Remarks Nozzle check pattern printing Perform via the machine operation panel, or from the MP driver Maintenance tab. Set a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in the rear tray. Print head cleaning Perform via the machine operation panel, or from the MP driver Maintenance tab. Unclogging of the print head nozzles, and maintenance to keep the print head conditions good. If there is a missing portion or white streaks in the nozzle check pattern printout, perform this cleaning. Print head deep cleaning Perform via the machine operation panel, or from the MP driver Maintenance tab. If print head manual cleaning is not effective, perform this cleaning. Since the deep cleaning consumes more ink than regular cleaning, it is recommended to perform deep cleaning only when necessary. Manual print head alignment Perform from the MP driver Maintenance tab. For the MP480 / MP486, the alignment can also be performed via the machine operation panel. Set a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in the rear tray. Partially automatic print head alignment Only for the MP240 / 245 and MP260 / MP268. Perform via the machine operation panel. Set a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in the rear tray.

(10/13) Function Procedures Remarks Print head alignment value printing Perform from the MP driver Maintenance tab. For the MP480 / MP486, the alignment can also be performed via the machine operation panel. Confirmation of the current print head alignment values. Paper feed roller cleaning Perform via the machine operation panel, or from the MP driver Maintenance tab. The paper feed rollers rotate while being pushed to the paper lifting plate. Since the rollers will wear in this cleaning, it is recommended to perform this only when necessary. Bottom plate cleaning Perform via the machine operation panel, or from the MP driver Maintenance tab. Cleaning of the platen ribs when the back side of paper gets smeared. Fold a sheet of plain paper (A4 or Letter) in half crosswise, then unfold and set it in the rear tray with the folded ridge facing down. 2-3. Special Notes on Assembling (1) Carriage rail and main chassis adjustment < Carriage rail > Perform the following adjustments when attaching the carriage rail: 1) Before loosening the screws, mark the their positions on the rail. 2) In attaching the carriage rail, make sure that the screws fit to the marks made in step 1) respectively, then fasten the screws. 3) Be sure to perform the confirmation test detailed below; confirm that the print quality is proper and the print head is not contacting the paper. < Main chassis > After the main chassis is attached, be sure to perform the confirmation test detailed below; confirm that the print quality is proper and the print head is not contacting the paper. < Confirmation test > Using Photo Paper Pro, and with the paper thickness lever set to the left position (normal position), print an image and confirm that the print quality is proper, and the print head is free from contacting the paper. If the print quality is not proper, or the print head contacts the paper, adjust the head-to-paper distance in the following procedures: < How to adjust the head-to-paper distance > 1) Mark the current position of the screws at the both ends of the chassis. (See the step 1) of the carriage rail adjustment above.)
