Caution:
❏ During maintenance, wear protective clothing,
including protective eyewear, gloves, and a
mask.
Should fluid such as ink, waste ink, ink cleaner,
or secondary carriage rod grease contact your
skin or enter your eyes or mouth, immediately
take the following actions:
❏ If fluid adheres to your skin, wash it off
using large volumes of soapy water.
Consult a physician if the skin appears
irritated or is discolored.
❏ If fluid enters your eyes, rinse immediately
with water. Failure to observe this
precaution could result in bloodshot eyes or
mild inflammation. If problems persist,
consult with a physician.
❏ If fluid enters your mouth, consult with a
physician as soon as possible.
❏ If swallowed, do not induce vomiting.
Consult with a physician as soon as
possible. If vomiting is induced, vomited
material may enter the windpipe, which is
dangerous.
❏ Store ink packs, waste ink, ink cleaner, and
secondary carriage rod grease, in a location out
of reach of children.
❏ After performing maintenance, wash your
hands and gargle thoroughly.
❏ Remove the media from the printer before
proceeding.
❏ Never touch the belts, cables, circuit boards, or any
parts that do not require cleaning.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in
breakdown or malfunction of the printer, or
reduced print quality.
❏ Do not use anything other than the consumable
cleaning sticks. Other types of stick that produce
lint will damage the print head.
❏ Always use fresh cleaning sticks. Re-using sticks
can make stains even harder to remove.
❏ Do not touch the ends of the sticks. Oil from your
hands could damage the print head.
Maintenance
❏ Do not get alcohol or water on the nozzle surface,
caps, or wiper. If water or alcohol gets on the nozzle
