4.3 Maintenance Procedure
Ink Maintenance
If ink constituents are sedimented, the ink density may become uneven. We recommend shaking the Ink
cartridge periodically to keep printing consistent.
Solvent ink: once a month.
Orange ink: once a week.

Orange Ink
This machine counts the time elapsed after stirring the orange ink. The “Shake the orange ink cartridge”
message appears when a preset count is reached. If the message appears, shake the orange ink by
following the instructions below:

Shaking the Ink cartridge
1
Shake the Ink cartridge to the left and right slowly at least 20 times.
• Shake the case slowly from left to right to ensure that the ink moves inside.
• If the ink cartridge is partially used, flip the ink cartridge upright and shake slowly at an
angle, holding the ink cartridge slot with a paper towel.

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 printing
defects (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 printing defects (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
