Epson SureColor F7170 User Manual page 25

Head cleaning will be performed automatically after the printer is turned on. Head
cleaning helps maintain print quality. Do not turn the printer off until cleaning is
complete.
Leaving the printer for too long without turning it on may result in a malfunction. Repair
work for such malfunction will be charged.
❏ If you will not be using the printer for more than 2 weeks, maintenance must be
performed by a service engineer before and after this period. This maintenance work
will be charged.
Note that even if proper maintenance has been done before a long period of non-use,
repair may be necessary when doing maintenance for reusing the printer, depending on
the period and conditions of storage. In such a case, the repair work will also be
charged.
Contact your dealer or Epson Support.
❏ The pressure rollers may crease media left in the printer. The media may also become
wavy or curled, causing jams or resulting in the media coming into contact with the print
head. Remove the media before storing the printer.
❏ Store the printer after confirming that the print head has been capped (the print head is
positioned at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for a long time, the print
quality may decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, wait until capping is performed automatically,
and then turn it off.
❏ Close all covers before placing the printer in storage. If you are not using the printer for
a long time, put an anti-static cloth or cover on the printer to prevent dust build-up. The
print head nozzles are very small, and they can become clogged easily if fine dust gets
on the print head, and you may not be able to print properly.
❏ If you have not used the printer for a long time, check the print head for clogging before
you start printing. Perform head cleaning if the print head is clogged.
See "Checking for Clogged Nozzles" on page 84.
❏ When storing the printer, be sure that it is level: do not store it on an angle, on end, or
upside down.
