Regular Maintenance
The printer requires regular part cleaning and part
replacement to maintain print quality; the maintenance
schedule depends on the frequency with which the
printer is used.
Failure to perform appropriate maintenance will
shorten product life.
This guide comes with a check sheet so that you can tell
at a glance when maintenance was last performed. Print
the check sheet to help schedule maintenance.

A lint-free (non-woven) cleaning cloth. Use to
clean around the print head.

Important:
If placed on the printer, used cleaning sticks
and other cleaning materials may leave stains
that, owing to the characteristics of the ink,
may be difficult to remove.
Notes on Cleaning
❏ Remove the media from the printer before
proceeding.
❏ Complete the task within 10 minutes to prevent the
print head drying out.
A buzzer will sound after 10 minutes.
❏ Never touch the belts, circuit boards, or any parts
that do not require cleaning.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
malfunction or reduced print quality.
