Capping; When The Printer Is Not Used For A Long Time; Conductivity Of Ink - Canon W6200 Service Manual

W6200

2.1.2 Capping

The printer will perform the capping operation when printing has finished or during
standby due to errors, in order to protect the printhead and avoid ink leakage.
If the power cord is accidentally unplugged, turn the power button off, reconnect the
power cord, and turn the power button on to confirm that the printer starts up
properly and changes to the "Online" or "Offline" state, then power off the printer
using the power button.
CAUTION

2.1.3 When the printer is not used for a long time

Keep the printhead installed in the printer even when it is not used for an extended
period of time.
CAUTION

2.1.4 Conductivity of ink

The ink used in this printer is electrically conductive. If ink leaks into the mechanical
unit, wipe clean with a soft, well-wrung damp cloth. If ink leaks onto electrical units,
wipe them completely using tissue paper. In particular, if ink penetrates beneath the
IC chips on the logic board and you cannot remove it completely, replace with a new
logic board.
CAUTION
Improper 'capping' may cause clogged printhead nozzles due to dried ink
or ink leakage from the printhead.
If the printhead is left uninstalled, printing failure may arise from clogged
nozzles due to the depositing of foreign matter or dried ink when it is re-
installed.
Even if the head remains installed, the nozzle may dry out and cause
printing failure if the ink is drained for transport.
If electrical units are powered on when ink has leaked, the units may be
damaged.
Never connect the power cord when ink has leaked on the electrical units.
