• Keep the printer out of direct sunlight.
• Do not install the printer next to heat sources or directly in the path of exhaust from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution could result in the print head nozzles drying out and
clogging.
• Make sure the product work space is kept free of dust or lint that could damage your product or clog
the print head nozzles.
• Perform maintenance operations according to usage frequency or at the recommended intervals.
Failure to perform regular maintenance could reduce print quality or damage the print head.
• If an error occurs and the printer is turned off without first resolving the error, the print head may not be
in the home (or capped) position, which may cause the print head to dry out. In this case, turn on the
power and wait until the carriage is in the home position.
• When the printer is on, do not disconnect the power cable or cut the power at the circuit breaker. The
print head may not be in the home (or capped) position. In this case, turn on the power and wait a
while until the print head is in the home position.
Note: To keep the print head in the optimum operating condition, ink is used in maintenance operations
such as head cleaning.

Storing Your Printer
Follow these guidelines if you need to store your printer for a long period:
• If the printer is not used for an extended period of time, the print head nozzles may become clogged.
We recommend that you print once every week to prevent the nozzles from clogging.
• Remove any loaded media before storing the printer to prevent the pressure rollers from causing
creases in the media, which may cause jams or damage to the print head.
• Make sure that the print head is in the home (or capped) position before storing the printer. If it is left
away from the home position for a long time, the print quality may decline. Turn the printer on and then
off again to move the print head to the home position.
• 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 fine dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able to print
properly.
• If the printer is turned on after an extended period of time with the power off, run a nozzle check before
you start printing and clean the print head, if necessary.
