This printer is provided with four fans: two mist fans for collecting ink mist, a suction fan for allowing paper to be sucked onto the platen and a BP maintenance

jet suction fan for collecting idle discharges.

Ink mist floating during printing or springing back from the paper is collected by internal air flow in the printer into the mist fan unit through a mist suction opening.

The mist fan on the back of the printer produces the airflow that carries the ink mist to the mist fan unit.

A duct is located under the platen, along with a platen ink BOX unit used for collecting waste ink during borderless printing and idle discharges. The suction fan

collects the ink mist in the duct through a platen suction duct into the platen suction ink BOX unit.

Idle discharges to the BP maintenance jet tray are collected into the BP maintenance jet ink BOX unit and the filter by the BP maintenace jet suction fan.
