5-5 When Not in Use for a Prolonged Period

Keep Performing Maintenance

Switch On the Power Once a Month
Switch on the sub power once a month. When you turn on the power, the machine automatically per-
forms some operations such as those to keep the print heads from drying out. Allowing the machine
to stand completely unused for a prolonged period may damage the print heads, so be sure to switch
on the power to perform these automatic operations.
Keep at a Constant Temperature and Relative Humidity
Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F) and a relative
humidity of 20 to 80% (with no condensation). Temperatures that are too high may degrade the ink
and cause malfunction. Temperatures that are too low may cause the ink to freeze and damage the
heads.

Alarm Feature

PRESS THE POWER
KEY TO CLEAN
This feature is to remind you to switch on the sub power once a month. When the machine remains
unused for about one month, this screen appears and a warning beep sounds. If this screen appears,
switch on the sub power. When maintenance operations finish, switch off the sub power.
This feature operates when the printer's main power is turned on. We recommend leaving on just the
main power to the printer even when the machine is to remain out of use for a prolonged period.

Important Note on Draining Ink

This machine has features for draining internal ink and for performing washing using cleaning cartridges,
but they should never be used except in special cases. Allowing the machine to stand without ink for
a prolonged period may damage the heads, even if internal washing is performed. Once ink has been
filled, then as a rule the ink should never be drained.
