Maintenance
Storing Your Printer
Follow these guidelines if you need to store your printer for a long period:
• If there are no white ink supply units loaded in the printer and the printer will not be used (and will be
switched off) for an extended period, use an optional cleaning ink supply unit and perform long-term
storage maintenance. Otherwise, it may be impossible to clear clogging in the print head. See the link
below for more information.
• We recommend that you turn on the printer at least once a week if the printer is not used for a long
time without performing the prolonged storage operation. If you do not print for a long time, the print
head nozzles may become clogged. Maintenance cleaning is automatically performed after the printer
is turned on. Maintenance cleaning helps prevent clogging in the print head and maintains print
quality. Do not turn the printer off until maintenance cleaning is complete.
• If you do not use the printer for a long time, make sure you perform a nozzle check before printing. If
clogged nozzles are detected, clean the print head.
• Even if the printer is not turned on, ink that has accumulated in the waste ink tubes may leak out.
Make sure the waste ink bottle is installed even when the printer is not on.
• Make sure that the print head has been capped (the print head is positioned on the left side) before
storing the printer. If it is left uncapped for a long time, the print quality may decline, and it may be
impossible to clear clogged nozzles. If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, check that
capping has been performed, and then turn the printer off.
• Close all the covers on the printer to prevent dust and debris from getting in. If the printer will be not be
used for an extended period of time, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other cover. The print head
nozzles can become clogged if dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able to print properly.
