Ink Maintenance
If ink constituents are sedimented, the ink density may become uneven. We recommend stirring the ink
periodically to keep printing consistent.
l Shaking the Ink tank
1
Shake the Ink tank gently from left to right to ensure it is fully mixed.
• Tighten the Ink tank lid securely, then move from left to right to ensure that the ink moves inside,
holding the lid with a paper towel.
Wiper Cleaning
The wiper wipes off ink adhering to the print head nozzle surface. Continuing to use the dirty wiper may
cause the wiper to which dried ink and dust are attached to rub against the nozzle surface, leading to
ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
• Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These
fragments will increase the risk of ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
