Maintenance
Maintain the machine regularly or as necessary so that its
accuracy will be maintained and it can continue to be used
for a long time.
Precautions for Maintenance
Pay attention to the following items when maintaining this
machine.
• When using cleaning solution for maintenance, be
sure to wear the supplied glove and protective
glasses.
• Never disassemble the machine. Disassembling it
can result in electric shock hazards or damage to
the machine.
Before maintenance, be sure to turn off the power
button and main power switch, and unplug the
power cable; otherwise, an unexpected accident
may occur.
• Prevent moisture from entering the machine.
Moisture inside the machine can cause electric
shock hazards or damage to the machine.
• To ensure stable ink jetting, it is necessary for the
machine to eject a small amount of ink (flushing)
regularly when a printing (outputting) operation
has not been performed for a long time.
• When the machine is not to be used for a long
time, turn off only the power button on the front
side, leave the main power switch at the side
turned ON (in the position of | ), and leave the
power cable connected.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or any chemical
agent containing an abrasive. Such materials can
deteriorate or deform the surface of the cover.
• Do not apply a lubricant, etc. to any parts inside
the machine. Doing so can cause printing failure.
• Be careful that the cleaning solution, ink, etc. not
to stick to the cover because this may cause the
surface of the cover to deteriorate or deform.

Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces
When the exterior surfaces of the machine are stained,
dampen a soft cloth with water or a neutral detergent
diluted with water, squeeze it, and wipe the surfaces with
the cloth.
Cleaning the Platen
When printing on coarse fabric, some ink may miss the
fabric and stick to the platen.
If you are concerned about ink soiling the platen, follow the
steps below to wash ink off the platen in water.
(Approximately once a week)
• When cleaning the platen, you need a tank to
collect the dirty water. Since a polyethylene tank
for holding dirty water is not supplied with this
machine, the user needs to prepare one in
advance.
1
Install the tank for collecting dirty water.
• The hose for discharging dirty water is on the right
of the machine. Attach the polyethylene tank to
the end of the hose.
2
Remove the fabric retainer
• Slide the fabric retainer to the end of the platen to
remove it.
