Paper / Paper Manufacturing / printer software and user manual
English term or phrase: head flushing
hello all,

can someone can tell me what "head flushing" could mean?

Context: The Head-flushing function enables the printer to maintain print quality by first draining the print heads of accumulated ink, and then drawing fresh ink from the cartridge.
This procedure rectifies blurs and other defects that can be caused by welling of dried ink.

many thanks in advance
