Maintaining
Be sure to perform maintenance of the machine periodically or whenever necessary so that the machine
can be used with its inherent accuracy for a long time.
Precautions in cleaning
Pay attentions to the following items when the machine is maintained.
Notes on cleaning solution
Use the cleaning liquid dedicated for the ink being used.
• When using the cleaning solution, be sure to wear the supplied protective glasses.
• Never disassemble the machine. Disassembling it can result in electric shock hazards or dam-
age to the machine.
Before starting maintenance work, be sure to turn off the power switch and unplug the power
cable; otherwise, an unexpected accident may occur.
• Prevent moisture from entering the machine. Moisture inside the machine can cause electric
shock hazards or damage to the machine.
• To ensure reliable ink jetting, it is necessary to have the machine perform ejection of a fine
amount of ink (flushing) periodically while printing (output) is suspended for an extended
period of time.
• When printing is to be suspended for a long time, turn off only the power switch in the front of
the machine; leave the main power switch at the rear of the machine turned ON (in the position
of | ) and leave the power cable connected.
• Do not wipe the nozzle face of the heads, the wiper or caps with water or alcohol. Doing so
can cause nozzle clogging or machine failure.
• Do not use benzine, thinner, or any chemical agent containing abrasives. Such materials can
deteriorate or deform the surface of covers.
• Do not apply lubricating oil or the like to any part inside the machine. Doing so can cause print-
ing failure.
• Be careful not to allow the cleaning solution or ink to adhere to covers, as this may cause dete-
rioration or discoloring of the surface of covers.
