Important Notes on This Procedure
For the manual cleaning, the included cleaning uid, cleaning stick and the commercially available
glass cleaner are necessary. Please prepare them in advance.
Before attempting this operation, remove any media.
To prevent the heads from drying out, nish this procedure in 10 minutes or less. A warning beep
sounds after 10 minutes.
Never use any implement other than the included cleaning stick. Cotton swabs or other lint-
producing items may damage the heads. If you use up the cleaning stick, purchase a new one
from your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer.
Use one cleaning stick per cleaning session, then discard the stick after use. Reusing cleaning sticks
may reduce printing quality.
Do not put the cleaning stick used for cleaning into the cleaning uid. It will deteriorate the uid.
Never rub the nozzle surface of the print head.
Stroke the sponges very gently, applying as little pressure as possible. Never rub, scrape, or crush
them.
When a warning beep sounds during cleaning
A warning beep sounds after 10 minutes. At this time, stop work, attach the side cover and the
maintenance cover, then close the front cover. Press
to quit the manual-cleaning menu.
After that, restart the procedure from the beginning.
