2. Fixing the Carriage
After completion of printing, the carriage is mechanically locked by the lock arm in the purge unit at the same moment the printhead is capped.
Before transporting the printer, secure the carriage at its home position using belt stoppers[1] so that the carriage does not become separated from the lock arm and
damage or ink does not leak.
3. Handling the Maintenance Cartridge
When removing the maintenance cartridge form the printer, use caution so that waste ink does not spatter.
4. Refilling the Printer with Ink
After removing the ink from inside the printer using the automatic or manual ink draining procedure to disassemble/reassemble or transport the printer, refill the
printer with ink as soon as possible upon completion of the work.
If the ink remaining in the printer dries up, mechanical parts may be seized and malfunction may result.
