Chapter 7 Maintenance

When the 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 in the lowered position for an extended period of time may
cause the pinch rollers to become deformed. Deformation of the pinch rollers may prevent the
media from being fed correctly.
• Perform the following if the "Check Waste Ink Tank" message appears on the display.
"Waste Ink Tank Replacement"(P. 215)
