Chapter 6 Maintenance

Platen Cleaning
• Turn off the main power and unplug the power cable before carrying out maintenance.
Continuing to use the dirty platen will prevent proper feeding of the media. It will also cause dried ink and
attached dust to rub against the head nozzle surface and lead to print defects (e.g., nozzle clogging,
deflection).
• Do not allow liquids to get inside the product. Ingress of liquids into the product may lead to
failure, electric shock, or fire.
• For heavy soiling, wipe using a soft cloth soaked in dilute detergent and thoroughly wrung out.
• The grooves in which the media holder slides and the media is cut are especially susceptible to
dust accumulation. Remove any debris carefully.
Cover (Exterior) Cleaning

this process. Replace with new ink.
