Measures When the Printer Is Not in Use for a Prolonged Period

Be sure to follow the instructions shown below when the printer is not in use for a prolonged period.
• Empty the drain bottle.
If you know that you will not use the machine for a prolonged period, empty the drain bottle. When the main
power is on, the machine periodically performs automatic maintenance in which fluid is discharged.
The drain bottle is filled when the following periods elapse. Leaving the drain bottle as-is will lead to the dis-
charged fluid overflowing.
• Approximately 2 weeks after the message "EMPTY DRAIN BOTTLE" is displayed
P. 226「If the Discharged Fluid Disposal Message Appears」
• Approximately 150 days after the drain bottle is emptied
P. 227「If the Drain Bottle Exceeds Its Capacity Limit」
• Do not empty the ink or cleaning liquid.
Periodically performed automatic maintenance discharges ink and cleaning liquid. Install a cleaning liquid
pouch and ink pouches with a sufficient amount remaining. If ink or cleaning liquid is empty, automatic main-
tenance becomes impossible.

• Switch on the sub power once a month.
Switch on the sub power once a month. When you turn on the power, the machine automatically performs
operations such as those to keep the print heads from drying out. Leaving the machine unused for a prolonged
period may damage the print heads, so be sure to switch on the power to perform these automatic opera-
tions.
• Keep the machine at a constant temperature and relative humidity.
Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F) and a relative humidi-
ty of 20 to 80% (with no condensation). Temperatures that are too high may degrade the ink and cause mal-
functions. Temperatures that are too low may cause the ink to freeze and damage the print heads.
