Key to Enjoying Consistent Printing Quality

The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the print head from drying or clogging. Always observe the
following rules for optimal printing quality.
Never disconnect the power plug until the power is turned off!
If you press the ON button to turn off the power, the machine caps the print head (nozzles) automatically to prevent from
drying. If you disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet before the power is turned off (while the ON lamp is lit or
flashing), the print head will not be capped properly and this will cause drying or clogging.
When disconnecting the power plug, make sure that the ON lamp is not lit.
Notice for Unplugging the Power Cord
Print periodically!
Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time, even if it is capped, the print
head too, may become dried or clogged if the machine has not been used for a long time.
We recommend you to use the machine at least once a month.
Note
Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen or paint-stick, or bleed
if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.
