5.4. How to Correct Stream Bending and Nozzle Clogging
This section describes how to correct stream bending and nozzle clogging for the unit.
● Wear protective gear (goggles and mask) when operating.
● If any ink or makeup enters your eyes or mouth, immediately flush with warm or cold water and
consult a physician.
● Before ejecting the ink, make sure that there is no one in the ejection direction. (Operate with
the end of the print head inserted in a beaker, etc.)
Two methods used to correct these problems are as follows:
● Nozzle backwash
● Disassembly and cleaning of the nozzle orifice
Each of the methods is described below in detail.
5.4.1. Nozzle Backwash
The nozzle backwash method sucks makeup from the nozzle to remove attached foreign objects. The
operation procedure is described below.
● To prevent the ink viscosity in the main ink tank from decreasing, limit the number of times that
consecutive nozzle backwash is performed to a maximum of three.
● You cannot perform this operation during ink ejection. Switch the unit to the stop state and then perform
the operation.
Prepare the cleaning bottle and beaker containing makeup, and remove the print head cover.
Press Nozzle backwash on the first screen of the [Circulation control] screen.
Upon pressing it, nozzle backwash (suction from the nozzle orifice) starts.
