Capping Station
The capping station consists of the ink caps, the wiper for
cleaning the heads, etc.
The ink caps prevent the nozzles in the ink heads from
drying up.
The wiper cleans the nozzles in the heads.
The wiper is a consumable. If the wiper becomes
deformed or the media gets stained, replace the wiper
with a new one.
• Remember to wear the protective safety glasses
supplied with the machine when cleaning the
inside of the capping station. This precaution is
necessary to prevent ink from getting in your eyes.
Pinch Rollers and Grit Rollers
The pinch rollers and grit rollers hold the media in place.
• Keep the pinch rollers lifted up when this machine
is not in use. Leaving the pinch rollers lowered for
an extended period of time can cause them to
become deformed and thus unable to securely
hold the media in place.
