Cleaning the Media Sensor

The media sensors are located on the platen in the
backside and the bottom surface of the head. When the
sensor is covered with dust, etc., it may cause false
detection of media.

on the surface of the sensor.

printing.
Clean the media press regularly.

• If ink adheres to the end face of the media and
becomes dirty, be sure to clean it.
• If ink adheres frequently, we recommended to set
the vacuum fan to "weak" or "standard".

Maintenance of Ink Pack

Shake the ink pack to agitate the ink in the pack once a
week.
Otherwise, there may be a difference in color due to the
ink sedimentation in the pack.
