Initial Printhead Cleaning Procedure

V.5
A new printhead contains a protecting liquid. Before using the printhead, follow the procedure described
below to clean the printhead.
V.5.1 Pour cleaning solution into the solution tank.
Pour a generous amount of cleaning solution into the solution tank.
V.5.2 Turn on the printer power supply.
When the power is turned on, the printer begins a self-test operation (the printhead carriage and the
feed rollers move). When the self test has been completed, wait until the main menu is displayed on
the LCD.
Since ink has not yet been supplied to the printer, a "No Ink" alarm will sound after several
minutes have elapsed. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction, and no action is required.
V.5.3 Move the printhead carriage to the cleaning position.
(1) From the main menu, select [Cleaning Tool] and then press the ENTER key.
(2) From the submenu, select [Clean Post] and then press the ENTER key.
The printhead carriage moves to the cleaning position and then stops.
