Cover (Exterior) Cleaning
• Be careful to prevent liquids from getting inside the machine. Otherwise there is a risk of failure,
electric shock, or fire.
• For heavy soiling, wipe using a soft cloth soaked in diluted neutral detergent and thoroughly
wrung out.
When this Printer is Left Unused for a Long Time
Clean as follows if the product is not used for one week or longer:
Check beforehand
Is [Near End] or [Ink End] displayed?
• Maintenance liquid and ink is aspirated during the washing operation. Washing is not possible if an
error occurs during this process. Replace with new ink.
• Do not turn off the main power supply. Turning off the main power supply will disable the
automatic maintenance function (including nozzle clogging prevention function and ink
discharge channel cleaning function). This increases the risk of ejection failures (such as nozzle
clogging or deflection).
• Do not leave media loaded on the platen. This may leave irregularities or ripples in the media.
When the machine is not in use, raise the clamp lever to separate the pinch rollers from the grit
rollers.
• Leaving the pinch rollers lowered may cause them to become deformed and prevent media from
being fed correctly.
• Leaving media loaded will subject it to force from the pinch rollers, which may leave pinch roller
marks on it.
• Perform the following if the "Check Waste Ink Tank" message appears on the display.
