Printhead+Cleaning

=How can printhead cleaning be run manually, and how much ink is required?=

A printhead cleaning can be performed:


 * From the Printer Control Panel:
 * Menu button -> Head Cleaning (Head Cleaning A or Head Cleaning B)
 * OR Hold Information button for 3 seconds for Head Cleaning A
 * From the GARO Status Monitor:
 * Maintenance tab -> Printhead Cleaning (Printhead Cleaning A or Printhead Cleaning B)

Differences in Head Cleaning Routines:


 * Printhead Cleaning A - 4 minutes; reportedly the printer goes through a cleaning cycle, then tests the heads ( uses approximately 10 ml of ink per data from Tom Huxley)
 * [[file:Ink_consumption_data.pdf]])
 * Printhead Cleaning B - 6 minutes; reportedly the printer goes through 3 cleaning cycles, then tests the heads. John Hollenberg measured 72.6 ml ink used for the "strong" cleaning ( in S ervice Mode), presumed to be the same as Head Cleaning B.
