Media press
When the cut dust of the media and other dusts accumulate between the media holder and the platen, it could
cause the risks that the transfer of the media could not be performed properly or such dusts stick to the nozzles
and this could interfere the proper printings. You are recommended to clean it frequently.
Media sensor ("Cleaning the Media Sensor" Chapter 5 of the Operation Manual)
Two media sensors are provided: one above the platen on the rear surface of the equipment and another on the
bottom surface of the head. If the dusts and ink accumulate on the sensor, it could cause false detection of the
media or the register mark. Wipe off the sensors with soft cloth or clean sticks.
For the cleaning of the media sensors, never use the solvent.
When the sensor is heavily stained, wipe off with a cloth soaked in the water-
diluted neutral detergent.
