Switch on the power once a month
Switch on the sub power once a month. When you turn on the power, the machine automatically
performs some operations such as those to keep the print heads from drying out. Allowing the
machine to stand completely unused for a prolonged period may damage the print heads, so be
sure to switch on the power to perform these automatic operations.
Keep at a constant temperature and relative humidity
Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40 degrees Celsius and a
relative humidity of 20 to 80 %( with no condensation). Temperatures that are too high may
degrade the ink and cause malfunction. Temperatures that re too low may cause the ink to freeze
and damage the heads.
