Preventing Sedimentation in Inks

The precipitation of the ingredients in the ink disables printing in normal color. So that the ink mixes well, shake
the pouch tray horizontally with a stroke length of around 5 cm (2 in.) from each end of the tray.
• Remove just the pouch tray for the white ink, shake the pouch tray 50 times (about 20 seconds), and then
reinsert this pouch tray.
• The pouch trays 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 carry out the
above steps. Allowing the ink to stand without carrying out these steps can cause the settled material to harden,
resulting in malfunction or other problems.
IMPORTANT
• Do not remove the ink pouches. Shake the entire pouch tray. Removing the ink pouches may lead to the ink leaking.
• Before shaking, wipe off any ink from around the mouth of the ink pouch. If you do not wipe off the ink, it may splatter when
you shake the pouch tray.
• When you have finished mixing the ink, reinsert the pouch tray immediately. Taking time to reattach the ink cartridge will
adversely affect the ink path.
• Even if you rarely use white ink, shake the pouch tray for the white ink 50 times (about 20 seconds) once a week.
