"Ink charge" refers to filling the ink path with ink. You can execute the ink charge by turning on the
power while holding down the cleaning switch. The PAUSE button blinks during the operation, which
takes 3 or 4 minutes. This operation can only be performed up to 6 times so that ink consumption may
be minimized. Any "ink charge" operations that follow will result in "false ink charge" operation.
When returning the printer to the user, make sure the head is capped. Failing to do so may result in
nozzle clogging or ink leakage.
Also, you must lock the carriage with the cleaning lever after capping the head. When moving the
carriage with your hands, turn the SPUR GEAR (20) with your fingers to make the lever draw back. If
you want to cap the head manually, you must lock the carriage with the cleaning lever in a different
manner. That is, turn the spur gear with your fingers to make the lever stick out.
