• Regular Maintenance
    • Everyday: Shake the white ink cartridges. (Only 4C+W)
    • Check before using, and then clean when it is dirty: Media guides (If dust or ink is adhered to the media guides, following problems may occur)

      • Fall of ink, nozzle clogging

      • Media jam

      • Media may not be fed successfully when printing

      • Dust may affix onto the nozzles and cause the machine to be unable to print successfully.

    • Every 1.5 months: Cleaning the discharging path and caps
    • Once a year: Cleaning the area around heads
  • Head cleaning (About Head Cleaning)
  • Nozzle maintenance (Refer to the operating instructions.)
  • Ink refreshing ("Cleaning When Changing the Color" included in Full Auto Cleaning at Changing Color)
  • Air purge (Damper Air Purge)
  • Caution for auto maintenance: Ink cartridge (both cartridges of each color end.), flushing liquid cartridges and cleaning cartridges end, the machine will stop.
  • If drop-out of printing occurs, perform the following;

    Nozzle Cleaning: Low 3 times -> Nozzle Cleaning: High 1 time -> Special Maintenance (Nozzle cleaning -> ink refresh -> air purge -> cleaning the nozzle surface)

    If drop-out of printing occurs after performing the maintenance above, call the service.

  • When the machine is not going to be used for a long period of time, make sure to check that there is enough ink or flushing liquid left in ink cartridge, cleaning cartridge, or flushing cartridge (they are not near end). Also check that there is enough space in the waste ink bottle.

    When the machine has run out of ink or the waste ink bottle has being full, auto maintenance function is not performed successfully. If the auto maintenance function does not run, a dried print head may cause nozzles to clog or components of white ink may settle, possibly leading to damage.

    If the power is going to be turned off for a week or more (when the auto maintenance function does not run), replace the white ink with the displacement liquid. Then replace the displacement liquid with the white ink when using the machine again. Normally, it takes time to complete the replacement of white ink with displacement liquid. Therefore, perform ink refreshing when you need displacement immediately. However, ink refreshing consumes a lot of white ink.
