Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing Quality

The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging.
Always observe the following rules for optimal printing quality.
Never unplug the power cord until the power is turned off!
If you press the ON button to turn off the power, the machine caps the print head (nozzles) automatically
to prevent from drying. If you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet while the POWER lamp is lit or
flashing, the print head will not be capped properly and this will cause drying or clogging.
When unplugging the power
Important
• If the power cord is unplugged, the date/time settings will be reset and all documents stored in the
machine's memory will be lost. Send or print a necessary document, or save it on a USB flash drive
before unplugging the power cord.
Print periodically!
Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time, even if it is
capped, the print head too, may become dried or clogged if the machine has not been used for a long
time.
We recommend you to use the machine at least once a month.
Note
• Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or
paint-stick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.
cord, make sure that the POWER lamp is not lit.
