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 performs 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. Tempera-
tures that are too low may cause the ink to freeze and damage the heads.

Alarm Feature

PRESS THE POWER
KEY TO CLEAN
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 washing cartridges, but they
should never be used except in special cases. 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.
78 Chapter 3 Maintenance and Adjustment
This function is to remind you to switch on the sub power once a month. When the ma-
chine 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.
