Even when the conditions above are met, you may

requirements are met. For more details, see the
manual supplied with the paper.
Also, when operating in dry areas, air conditioned
environment, or under direct sunlight, maintain
the appropriate humidity.
❏ Capping may not occur (the print head is not
positioned on the right-hand side) if the printer is
turned off during a paper jam or when an error
occurs. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn on
the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
❏ When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print head
may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the
power and wait a while until capping is performed
automatically.
❏ Do not move the print head by hand; otherwise, the
printer may be damaged.

Notes when not using the printer

If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏ When storing the printer leave the ink cartridges
installed and keep the printer level. Do not tilt or
invert the printer or stand it on end.
❏ If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that
you use the printer periodically to prevent the print
head from clogging.
❏ If the paper is left in the printer, the roller of the
paper presser may leave a mark on the surface of the
paper. This can also cause wavy or curled paper
resulting in paper feeding problems or the print
head could be scratched. Remove any paper when
storing.
