4.3 Performing Maintenance
Ink Maintenance
If ink constituents are sedimented, the ink density may become uneven. We recommend shaking the Ink
bottle periodically to keep printing consistent.
UV ink: once a month.
White ink: once a day.
l
Shaking the Ink bottle
1
Shake the Ink bottle to the left and right slowly at least 20 times.
• Tighten the ink bottle lid securely, then shake the bottle slowly from left to right to ensure that the
ink moves inside, holding the ink bottle lid with a paper towel.
Repeat the procedure.
• Shake the bottle slowly. If the bottle is shaken violently, there is a risk of ink leakage or
nozzle clogging due to air getting inside the ink.
• For partially used ink bottles, tilt the bottle vertically and shake it gently.
Wiper Cleaning
The wiper wipes off ink adhering to the print head nozzle surface. Continuing to use the dirty wiper may
cause the wiper to which dried ink and dust are attached to rub against the nozzle surface, leading 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).
