Chapter 5 Maintenance
Maintaining the
Capping Station
Maintain the ink cap, wiper, etc. located in the capping
station.
(SATION MAINT.)
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 F-200 /
LF-200 maintenance liquid and clean stick.
Cleaning the Wiper and Cap
It is recommended that the wiper and cap be cleaned
frequently in order to maintain the high image quality of
the machine and keep the machine itself in good working
order.
