Cleaning Each Time You Replace the Nozzle
Cleaning Cartridge
This section describes how to clean the caps.
Perform regular maintenance each time you replace the nozzle cleaning cartridge so the machine may
be used safely for an extended period.

Cleaning the Caps

Clean the caps and the area around the print heads each time you replace the nozzle cleaning
cartridge or if nozzle defects are not resolved by head cleaning or air purging. Ink clogging defects
may be caused by dirt on the caps.
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, or replacing the cleaning cartridge, make sure to
wear the attached goggles.
• When performing maintenance on the machine, make sure to wear the attached gloves.
• If ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid get into contact with eyes, wash eyes immediately
with running water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If ink, flushing liquid, or displacement liquid are ingested, consult a doctor immediately with
Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
• When removing jammed media or performing maintenance on the machine, avoid getting ink,
flushing liquid, and displacement liquid on your clothing. If ink, flushing liquid, and displacement
liquid come into contact with your clothing, wash the stained area with water.
• When removing jammed media, replacing media, or performing maintenance on the machine,
avoid getting ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid on your skin. If ink, flushing liquid, and
displacement liquid come into contact with your skin, wash the affected area thoroughly with
soap and water.
• The supplied gloves are consumables. If they are damaged or lost, use polythene gloves
instead.
• When 10 minutes or more have passed after the carriage moves, the machine will make a buzzer
sound. As nozzle dryness may cause a nozzle defect, perform nozzle maintenance promptly.
