Capping station
• Be sure to wear the attached goggles in cleaning
within the capping station to protect your eyes
against ink. Otherwise, you may get ink in your
eyes.
The capping station consists of the ink caps, the wiper for
cleaning the heads, etc.
The ink caps prevent the nozzles in the heads from drying
up.
The wiper cleans the nozzles in the heads.
The wiper is consumable.If the wiper is deformed or the
media is stained, replace the wiper with a new one. (

• Keep the pinch rollers lifted up when this machine
is not in use. If the pinch rollers are left lowered for
an extended period of time, they can be deformed
and fail to securely retain the media.
This machine retains the media with the pinch rollers and
feed rollers. During printing operation, the feed rollers
feed the media forward.
