Precautions for Maintenance

Pay attention to the following items when maintaining this
machine.
• When using cleaning solution for maintenance, be
sure to wear the supplied protective glasses.
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, be sure
to wear the included safety glasses and gloves.
• 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.
• Be careful that the cleaning solution, ink, etc. not to
stick to the cover because this may cause the
surface of the cover to deteriorate or deform.
