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.
• When using cleaning solution for maintenance, 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
button and main 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 button on the front
side, leave the main power switch at the side
turned ON (in the position of | ), and leave the
power cable connected.
• Do not use benzine, 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.

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.
• Do not allow liquids to get inside the product.
Ingress of liquids into the product may lead to
failure, electric shock, or fire.
Cleaning the Platen
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.).
• Turn off the main power and unplug the power
cable before maintenance.
• Do not allow liquids to get inside the product.
Ingress of liquids into the product may lead to
failure, electric shock, or fire.
• When the platen is stained with ink, wipe it off with
a paper towel containing a small amount of
cleaning solution for maintenance.
• Before cleaning the platen, make sure that the
platen heater has cooled adequately.
• When cleaning the platen, do not apply strong
force to the platen or wipe it with a hard cloth.
Doing so may damage or deform the platen,
causing poor printed image. If the deformed platen
is used, the media may meander and the print
head may be damaged.
