The following table shows the conditions for permitted missing dots and auto cleaning for each nozzle check mode. • Anti-missing Dot Mode The auto nozzle check is performed at each timing, and by performing the auto head cleaning when neces- sary, missing dots are prevented. • Because the nozzle check is performed periodically during continuous printing, printing may be interrupted for approximately 8 seconds. • If more than 1 missing dot is detected, the auto head cleaning is performed to resolve the missing dot.
• Anti-missing Read Mode The auto nozzle check is performed at each timing, and by performing the auto head cleaning when neces- sary, missing reads due to missing dots are prevented. • Because the nozzle check is performed periodically during continuous printing, printing may be interrupted for approximately 8 seconds. • If more than 2 missing dot is detected, the auto head cleaning is performed to resolve the missing dot. • Anti-missing Color Mode The auto nozzle check is performed at each timing, and by performing the auto head cleaning when neces- sary, missing colors due to missing dots are prevented.
• Because the nozzle check is performed periodically during continuous printing, printing may be interrupted for approximately 8 seconds. • If 3 or more consecutive missing dots or 10 missing dots or more are detected, the auto head clean- ing is performed to resolve the missing dots. 24 Condition Anti-missing Dot Mode Anti-missing Read Mode (Default) Anti-missing Color Mode No Missing Dot Detection Mode Permitted missing dots None 1 missing dot or less No 2 consecutive missing dots and less than 9 missing dots - Auto cleaning conditions 1 missing dot or more 2 missing dots or more 3 or more consecutive dots or 10 or more missing dots -
