Maintenance that Should Be Performed Daily
Maintenance of Ink Cartridges
Be sure to perform the following types of maintenance. The ingredients in the ink have a tendency to precipi-
tate. Particularly, the white ink contains ingredients that precipitate easily, and deposits may harden and cause
problems including printer malfunctions if left untouched for an extended period of time.
Shake the new ink cartridge gently before loading it.
Temporarily remove only the white ink cartridge, shake it gently, and load it before starting
operation for the day.
