CAUTION
IMPORTANT
Important notes on this procedure
• Before attempting this operation, remove any media.
• To prevent the print heads from drying out, finish this procedure in 30 minutes or less. A warning beep sounds after 30 minutes.
• Never use any implements other than the included cleaning sticks. Cotton swabs or other lint-producing items may damage the
print heads.
• Use only the included cleaning liquid.
• Use one cleaning stick per cleaning session, and then discard the stick after use. Reusing cleaning sticks will adversely affect the
printing results.
• Do not put a cleaning stick that has been used for cleaning into the cleaning liquid. Doing so will deteriorate the cleaning liquid.
• Never rub the print head surface (nozzle surface).
• Stroke the sponges very gently, applying as little pressure as possible. Never rub, scrape, or crush them.
• If you use up the cleaning sticks or cleaning liquid, contact your authorized Roland DG Corporation dealer or visit our website
(http://www.rolanddg.com/).
If a warning beep sounds during cleaning
• A warning beep sounds 30 minutes after operation starts. Stop work, close all the covers, and then press [ENTER] to end the manual
