Storing the Printer
If you will not use the printer for an extended period of time with the power off, you must properly prepare
it for storage. You must change the ink packs to cleaning ink packs if the planned period of non-
operation is one month or more.
Caution: If you do not change the ink packs to cleaning ink packs before storing the printer, it may be
impossible to clear clogs in the print head when the printer is turned back on. If you do not print for a long
time and do not perform pre-storage maintenance, turn on the printer at least once every seven days.
Before you begin the storage operation, gather the necessary number of cleaning ink packs and one
waste ink bottle. You may need new ink and cleaning ink packs depending on the amount of ink and
cleaning liquid remaining. Prepare extra ink and cleaning ink packs as a precaution.
1. Do one of the following:
• If the printer is in White ink mode and you will not use it for between two weeks and one month,
change the printer mode to Color ink mode. See the link below.
• If you will not use the printer for one month or longer, go to the next step.
2. Turn on the printer, if necessary.
3. Select Menu > Maintenance > Keeping Preparation.
4. Read the on-screen messages and then select Start.
5. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the procedure.
Note: Select How To... on the screen to view the steps.
6. When a message appears that confirms replacement is complete, turn off the printer.
