Measures When the Printer Is Not in Use for a Prolonged Period
Be sure to follow the instructions shown below when the printer is not in use for a prolonged period.
• Empty the drain bottle.
If you know that you will not use the machine for a prolonged period, empty the drain bottle. When
the main power is on, the machine periodically performs automatic maintenance in which fluid is dis-
charged.
The drain bottle is filled when the following periods elapse, so periodically discard the discharged flu-
id.
• Approximately 2 weeks after the message [When output, cleaning, and other operations are
completed, discard the discharged fluid.] is displayed or approximately 150 days after the drain
bottle is emptied

• Do not allow the machine to run out of ink or cleaning liquid.
The machine discharges ink and cleaning liquid during the automatic maintenance that is performed
periodically. Set in the machine ink and cleaning liquid pouches having sufficient remaining ink and
cleaning liquid. The machine cannot perform automatic maintenance if it has run out of ink or clean-
ing liquid.
• Switch on the sub power once a month.
Switch on the sub power once a month. When you turn on the power, the machine automatically per-
forms operations such as those to keep the print heads from drying out. Leaving the machine unused
for a prolonged period may damage the print heads, so be sure to switch on the power to perform
these automatic operations.
• Keep the machine at a constant temperature and relative humidity.
Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F) and a rela-
tive humidity of 20 to 80% (with no condensation). Temperatures that are too high may degrade the ink
and cause malfunctions. Temperatures that are too low may cause the ink to freeze and damage the
print heads.
