Ink Maintenance
If ink constituents are sedimented, the ink density may become uneven. We recommend shaking the ink
periodically to keep printing consistent.

Once every three days.
• Shake taking care that the ink eco-cases do not become detached from the ink supply unit.
Ink may leak out if the ink eco-cases become detached.

Shake the ink eco-cases slowly approximately 10 times.
• Shake the ink eco-cases back and forth while holding the top.
• Be sure to shake the ink eco-case back and forth by holding its top. Ink may leak out if the
top is not held and the ink eco-cases become detached.
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 (e.g., 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).
