Periodic Cleaning
Good question.
You are speaking about the Periodic Cleaning setting. Periodic Cleaning defaults to the OFF setting, and must be changed if you want to have the machine run periodic cleanings DURING PRINTING.
There are three settings... NONE, PAGE, and XX MINS (where XX is a number between 10 and 990)
- NONE is no period cleaning during printing
- PAGE will run a cleaning before printing each "PAGE"
- XX MINS will run a cleaning after XX minutes of printing have accumulated. This can be set from 10 mins to 990 minutes.
Please be aware that since printing pauses to clean-- when set to XX MINS-- you may be cause a visible dry line (in some circumstances)
This is a good setting to use if you have a large banner with a solid... and you experience those damn little ink drops spitting now and then caused by ink buildup.
For VersaCAMMs, this feature is enabled on the VP-series, new SPi-series, and VS-series (under Sub Menu)
For SOLJETS, this feature is enabled on the PROII & PRO III printers.
... for what it's worth
