Maintain Ink cap, Wiper or the like, which are located in the capping station. [ST.MAINTENANCE]
The ink cap and wiper function respectively as follows.
• Wiper : Wiping ink sticking to the head nozzle off.

As the machine is used, the wiper and ink caps gradually become stained with ink and dust.
Clean it with the cleaning solution and a cotton swab unless nozzle missing is cleared even after the head
