About the Frequency of Maintenance

• Some parts of this machine must be replaced with a new one periodically by service personnel.
Be sure to make a contract with your distributor or dealer for after sale service to ensure a long
life of your machine.
• If the machine's interior is not cleaned regularly, dust will accumulate. Fire and breakdown can
result from heavy accumulation of dust inside this machine. Contact your sales or service
representative for details about and charges for cleaning the machine's interior.
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, or replacing the cleaning cartridge, make sure to
wear the attached goggles.
• When performing maintenance on the machine, make sure to wear the attached gloves.
• Please use protective equipment in order to avoid exposure to liquid.
• The supplied gloves are consumables. If they are damaged or lost, use polythene gloves
instead.
Perform maintenance regularly in order to use the machine at its best possible condition. Make sure to
keep the nozzle parts of the print heads that discharge ink in good condition as they may affect the
printing results due to the adherence of particles or dust.
