Routine Maintenance
Maintaining the Capping Station
Maintain the ink cap, wiper, etc. located in the capping station. (ST.MAINTENANCE)
The ink cap and wiper function as follows.
• Wiper : It wipes off ink sticking to the head nozzles.
• Ink cap : It prevents the head nozzles from clogging due to dryness.
As the machine is used repeatedly, the wiper and ink cap gradually become dirty with ink, dust, etc.
If nozzle missing cannot be corrected even after head cleaning ( P.2-19) has been performed, use a
cleaning kit and clean stick.
