Chapter 4 Maintenance

Maintenance

Maintain the machine regularly or as necessary so that its
accuracy will be maintained and it can continue to be
used for a long time.

Precautions for Maintenance

Pay attention to the following items when maintaining this
machine.
• Turn off the main power and unplug the power
cable before maintenance.
• When using cleaning solution for maintenance, be
sure to wear the supplied protective glasses.
• Never disassemble the machine.Disassembling it
can result in electric shock hazards or damage to
the machine.
Before maintenance, be sure to turn off the power
switch and unplug the power cable;otherwise, an
unexpected accident may occur.
• Prevent moisture from entering the
machine.Moisture inside the machine can cause
electric shock hazards or damage to the machine.
• To ensure stable ink jetting, it is necessary for the
machine to eject a small amount of ink (flushing)
regularly when a printing (outputting) operation has
not been performed for a long time.
• When the machine is not to be used for a long time,
turn off only the power switch on the front side,
leave the main power switch at the right side turned
ON (in the position of | ), and leave the power cable
connected.
• Do not wipe the nozzle face of the heads, wiper,
caps, etc. with water or alcohol.Doing so can cause
nozzle clogging or machine failure.
• Do not use benzene, thinner, or any chemical agent
containing an abrasive.Such materials can
deteriorate or deform the surface of the cover.
• Do not apply a lubricant, etc. to any parts inside the
machine. Doing so can cause printing failure.

Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces

When the exterior surfaces of the machine are stained,
dampen a soft cloth with water or a neutral detergent
diluted with water, squeeze it, and wipe the surfaces with
the cloth.

Cleaning the Platen

• Turn off the main power and unplug the power
cable before maintenance.
Continuing to use the media while it is dirty may cause
media to be fed incorrectly, or rubbing dirt or solid ink onto
the head nozzle surface, resulting in discharge failure
(nozzle clogging, deflection, etc.).
• Do not allow liquids to enter the machine. There is
a risk of equipment failure, electric shock, or fire.
• If the dirt is noticeable, use a soft cloth soaked in a
neutral detergent diluted with water, wrung out,and
then wiped off.
• Before cleaning the platen, make sure that the
platen has cooled adequately.
• The groove that slides the media press and the
groove that cuts the media are particularly easy to
collect dust. Please carefully remove the dust.
