❏ The pressure rollers may crease media left in the
printer. The media may also become wavy or
curled, causing jams or resulting in the media
coming into contact with the print head. Remove
the media before putting the printer in storage.
❏ Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is positioned
at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for
a long time, the print quality may decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
❏ Close all covers before placing the printer in
storage. If you are not using the printer for a long
time, put an anti-static cloth or cover on the printer
to prevent dust. The print head nozzles are very
small, and they can become clogged easily if fine
dust gets on the print head, and you may not be able
to print properly.
❏ When storing the printer, be sure that it is level: do
not store it on an angle, on end, or upside down.
Notes on handling ink
cartridges/ink supply units
Note the following points when handling ink cartridges/
ink supply units to maintain good print quality.
When using WH/MS ink, observe the following points
as well.
"Notes on Usage of WH/MS Ink (SC-S80600 Series/
U
SC-S80600L Series)" on page 23
❏ Extra ink is required to fully charge the print head
nozzles the first time the printer is used;
replacement ink cartridges/ink supply units will be
needed earlier than usual.
❏ Store ink cartridges/ink supply units at room
temperature in a location that is not exposed to
direct sunlight.
❏ To ensure print quality, use all the ink before the
earlier of the following dates:
❏ The expiry date shown on the ink cartridge/ink
supply unit packaging
Introduction
❏ 6 months from the day the ink cartridge
packaging is opened, or 6 months from the day
the ink supply unit is inserted in the tray
❏ If you move ink cartridges/ink supply units from a
cold place to a warm place, leave them at room
temperature for more than 4 hours before using
them.
❏ Do not touch the ink cartridge/ink supply unit IC
chip. You may not be able to print properly.
❏ You cannot print if any of the ink cartridge slots or
ink supply unit trays are empty.
❏ Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges or
trays installed. The ink in the printer will dry out
and the printer will not function as expected. Leave
ink cartridges/ink supply units inserted, even when
the printer is not in use.
❏ Because the IC chip manages the cartridge's/ink
supply unit's own information, such as the
remaining ink level, you can still re-insert and use
the ink cartridges/ink supply units if you removed
them before the replacement message appears.
❏ Use a cleaning stick from the supplied Maintenance
Kit to wipe ink stuck on the ink supply ports of ink
cartridges/ink supply units that were removed
during use. Dried ink on the supply port may cause
ink leaks when the cartridge is reinserted and used.
While cartridges are in storage, keep the ink supply
ports free of dust. The ink supply port has a valve in
it so it does not need to be capped.
❏ Removed ink cartridges/ink supply units may have
ink around their ink supply ports, so be careful not
to get any ink on the surrounding area.
❏ To maintain the quality of the print head, this
printer is designed to stop printing before ink is
completely expended, leaving ink in the used ink
cartridges/ink supply units.
