Precautions regarding
maintenance
Note the following points when cleaning and
replacing parts.
Caution:
❏ Store ink supply units, cleaning ink supply
units, cleaning liquid, and waste ink out of
the reach of children.
❏ During maintenance, wear protective
clothing, including protective eyewear, gloves,
and a mask.
If ink, waste ink, or cleaning liquid come into
contact with your skin or enter your eyes or
mouth, take the following actions.
❏ If fluid adheres to your skin, immediately
wash it off using large volumes of soapy
water. Consult a physician if the skin
appears irritated or is discolored.
❏ If fluid enters your eyes, rinse
immediately with water. Failure to
observe this precaution could result in
bloodshot eyes or mild inflammation. If
problems persist, consult with a physician.
❏ If fluid enters your mouth, consult a
physician immediately.
❏ If fluid is swallowed, do not force the
person to vomit, and consult with a
physician immediately. If the person is
forced to vomit, fluid may get caught in
the trachea which can be dangerous.
❏ After replacing the waste ink bottle or using
the cleaning liquid, wash your hands and
gargle thoroughly.
❏ Remove the media from the printer before
proceeding.
❏ Never touch the belts, circuit boards, or any parts
that do not require cleaning. Failure to observe
this precaution could result in malfunction or
reduced print quality.
❏ Use only the supplied cleaning sticks or sticks
contained in a maintenance kit. Other types of
sticks that produce lint will damage the print head.
Maintenance
❏ Always use fresh cleaning sticks. Re-using sticks
can make stains even harder to remove.
❏ Do not touch the tips of the cleaning sticks. Oil
from your hands could damage the print head.
❏ Only use the specified cleaning liquid to clean
around the print head or the suction cap. Using a
liquid other than that specified could cause the
printer to malfunction or print quality to decline.
❏ Touch a metallic object before starting work to
discharge any static electricity.
Performing Regular
Cleaning

Daily Cleaning

When lint, dust, or ink adheres to the platen heater or
the media edge plates, it could cause clogged nozzles
or ink drops to occur.
To maintain optimum printing quality, we
recommend cleaning before starting work every day.
Caution:
❏ The curing heater, heaters, and media edge
plates may be hot; observe all necessary
precautions. Failure to observe the necessary
precautions could result in burns.
❏ Do not put your hand inside the curing
heater. Failure to observe the necessary
precautions could result in burns.
❏ Be careful not to trap your hands or fingers
when opening or closing the printer cover.
Failure to observe this precaution could result
in injury.

Important:

When cleaning the platen heater, do not use
cleaning liquid. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in damaged parts.
