This chapter is divided into one specific section regarding printer maintenance and one
section covering general cleaning and lubrication topics.
6.1 Printer-Related Maintenance
If the Stylus Scan prints irregularly (missing dot, banding, and so on) or the LED lights
indicate a maintenance error, take the corresponding action below to solve the problem.
o Head Cleaning
The printer has a built-in head cleaning function that is activated through the
control panel operation.
1. Confirm that the printer is in stand-by state (the POWER indicator is not blinking), and
hold down the cleaning button on the control panel for more than 3 seconds.
2. The printer enters the built-in cleaning sequence. (During the sequence, the POWER
indicator blinks.)
o Maintenance Error Clear
Besides actual the actual printing operation, other operations such as cleaning also
consume ink. During all of these operations, the Stylus Scan counts the amount of
waste ink drained to the waste ink pads. Once the amount of waste ink reaches the
predefined limit, the printer indicates “MAINTENANCE ERROR” and does not
operate until the waste ink pads are replaced as described in “Removing the waste
ink pads” on page93.
