Spülluft
Explanation:
Der Druckkopf wird anscheinend von einer Luftströmung sauber gehalten (so etwas nennt man Spülluft):

"And a positive air option prevents airborne particles entering the printhead and contaminating the ink." (ref 1)

"Zuverlässiges Drucken auch in staubiger und feuchter Umgebung ermöglicht die so genannte "Positive-air"-Funktion. Dabei wird die Luft gefiltert dem Druckergehäuse entnommen." (ref 2)
