Manual Cleaning

When Manual Cleaning Is Necessary

The print heads are important components that discharge ink. They require periodic and appropriate mainte-
nance. It is important to perform manual cleaning with the appropriate timing.
When there is a lot of scattered ink mist and the inside of the machine is soiled
Perform this cleaning every day when frequently printing with the print heads at a distance from the print surface
or when ink is emitted to locations that protrude from the print surface. If the scattered ink mist is allowed to
harden, it may cause malfunctions.
