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.2-8) has been performed, use a F-200 /
LF-200 Maintenance liquid kit and cleaning swab.
