3-5 When Not in Use for a Prolonged Period
Keep Performing Maintenance
Switch On the Power Once a Month
Switch on the sub power once a month. When you turn on the power, the machine automatically performs some operations
such as those to keep the print heads from drying out. Allowing the machine to stand completely unused for a prolonged
period may damage the print heads, so be sure to switch on the power to perform these automatic operations.
Keep at a Constant Temperature and Relative Humidity
Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F) and a relative humidity of 20 to 80%
(with no condensation). Temperatures that are too high may degrade the ink and cause malfunction. Temperatures that are
too low may cause the ink to freeze and damage the heads.
The Setup Guide also describes what to do when the machine will be out of use for a prolonged period. Be sure to refer to it as well.
