liquid.
• Wipe off the washing liquid. Make sure none remains.
• Only clean the front side of the wiper cleaner. There is no need to clean the backside.
• Do not remove the wiper cleaner from the bracket.
• After cleaning is completed, check to confirm that the wiper cleaner is not facing up.
• Soak up ink in the waste ink holder with a paper towel once a week. Failure to do so may
result in leaking ink.
• Do not remove the absorbent material in the absorbent material case. Doing so may result
in leaking ink.

Cap Cleaning
The cap prevents the print head nozzle surface from drying out. Continuing to use a dirty cap may affect ink
take-up and lead to print defects (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection).
• Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These
fragments will increase the risk of print defects (e.g., nozzle clogging, deflection).
