Ink Maintenance
If ink constituents are sedimented, the ink density may become uneven. We recommend shaking the Ink
pack periodically to keep printing consistent.
Solvent ink: once every month
Orange ink: once every week.
l
For Orange Ink
The "Shake Orange Ink Cartridge" message appears when a preset count is reached. When the message
appears, shake the orange ink cartridge.

Shake the Ink pack
1
Shake the Ink pack to the left and right slowly at least 20 times.
• Shake the bottle slowly from left to right to ensure that the ink moves inside.
• When using an ink cartridge with ink remaining, hold a paper towel over the gap between
the ink cartridge slot and the side and shake slowly with the ink cartridge tilted upright.

Cap Rubber Cleaning
The cap prevents the print head nozzle surface from drying out. Continuing to use a dirty cap may affect ink
take-up and lead to ejection failures (such as nozzle clogging or deflection).
• Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These
fragments will increase the risk of ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
