Maintenance That Must Be Performed Daily

Maintenance of Ink Cartridges

The precipitation of the ingredients in the ink disables printing in normal color. So that the ink mixes well, shake
the ink cartridge horizontally with a stroke length of around 5 cm (2 in.) from each end of the ink cartridge.
• Remove the white ink cartridge, shake it 50 times (about 20 seconds), and then reinsert this cartridge.
• The ink cartridges for colors other than white do not need to be shaken before every operation, but be sure to
shake them when installing new ones.
The ingredients in white ink tend to settle. Each day, before starting the day's operations, be sure to shake this
cartridge. Allowing the ink to stand without carrying out these steps can cause the settled material to harden,
resulting in malfunction or other problems.
IMPORTANT
• Before shaking the ink cartridge, wipe off any ink from around its mouth. If you do not wipe off the ink, it may splatter when you
shake the ink cartridge.
• When you have finished mixing the ink, reattach the ink cartridge immediately. Taking time to reattach the ink cartridge will ad-
versely affect the ink path.
• Even if you are not using the printer, shake the white ink cartridge 50 times (about 20 seconds) once a week.

Printing Tests and Normal Cleaning

1.
Perform a printing test.
Before you carry out actual printing, perform a printing test to ensure no dot drop-out or dot displacement occurs.
If dot drop-out or dot displacement occurs, perform cleaning of the print heads (normal cleaning).
MEMO
• This operation is unnecessary if you will only perform cutting.
• When performing printing tests successively, you can select "FEED" (vertical printing) or "SCAN" (horizontal printing) as the print
position for the 2nd and later tests in comparison to the 1st test.
