Selecting Custom Setting while pressing the

special menu.

· Economy cleaning (disabled by default)

Disables the cleaning operations performed during the initial power-on after the AC

power input. This reduces the amount of ink consumed during service, or when the

printer is connected to the computer's interlocking power. However, this function is

disabled if at least 72 hours has lapsed from AC power input to power-on.

· Smear control (enabled by default)

Disables the smear control performed to prevent ink smearing during high-duty

printing on plain paper using the black BJ cartridge. By disabling the smear-

control and removing the ejected sheets one by one, throughput increases.
