Cleaning The Head And The Area Around It - MIMAKI Tx500-1800B Operation Manual

Cleaning the Head and the Area around It

Because the head employs a very precise mechanism, due care needs to be taken when it is cleaned.
Using a clean stick, etc., rub off gelatinous ink or dust that may stick to the lower part of the slider and the area
around the head.In doing so, never rub the nozzles of the head.
Tools required for cleaning
• Be sure to wear the attached goggles and gloves when cleaning the area around the head.Otherwise,
you may get ink in your eyes.
• If you get the ink on your skin or in your eyes, wash it away with plenty of water immediately.
• Clean the bottom of carriage every day so that it will not get dirt from inks or dusts. If you leave it dirty,
dust and dry ink may be rubbed against the nozzle at wiping operation when performing head
cleaning.
• When you clean the carriage bottom surface, fully be careful not to rub the nozzle surface.
