Notes When Not Using The Printer; Notes On Handling Ink Cartridges - Epson SureColor T-Series User Manual

Epson SureColor T-Series User Guide
O Do not install the printer next to heat sources or
directly in the path of air from a ventilator or air
conditioner. Failure to observe this precaution
could result in the print head nozzles drying and
clogging.
O The print head may not be capped (i.e., may not
move to the right-hand side) if an error occurs and
the printer is turned off without first resolving the
error. Capping is a function for automatically
covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent
the print head from drying out. In this case, turn
on the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
O When the power is on, do not remove the power
plug or cut the power at the breaker. The print
head may not be capped properly. In this case, turn
on the power and wait a while until capping is
performed automatically.
O Even when the printer is not in use, some ink will
be consumed by head cleaning and other
maintenance operations needed to keep the print
head in good condition.
Notes when not using the
printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you may
not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
O If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that
you print once a week to prevent the print head
from clogging.
O The roller may leave an impression on paper that is
left in the printer. This can also cause wavy or
curled paper resulting in paper feeding problems
or the print head could be scratched. Remove any
paper when storing.
O 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.
Introduction
O To prevent the accumulation of dust and other
foreign matter in the printer, close all covers before
placing it in storage.
If the printer will be not be used for an extended
period, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other
cover.
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.
O When turned on after an extended period of
disuse, the printer may automatically perform
head cleaning to ensure print quality.
Head cleaning will end after about 10 to 15
minutes.

Notes on handling ink cartridges

Note the following points when handling ink
cartridges to maintain good print quality.
O The supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance
Tank are for use during the initial charging. The
supplied ink cartridges and Ink Maintenance Tank
will be require replacement relatively quickly.
O We recommend that ink cartridges be stored at
room temperature out of direct sunlight and used
before the expiry date printed on the packaging.
O To ensure good results, use all the ink in the
cartridge within a year of installation.
O Ink cartridges that have been stored at low
temperatures for an extended period should be
allowed to return to room temperature over a
period of four hours.
O Do not touch the IC chips on the tops of the ink
cartridges. You may not be able to print properly.
O Install all ink cartridges into each slot. You cannot
print if any of the slots are empty.
O Do not leave the printer without ink cartridges
installed. The ink in the printer may dry,
preventing it from printing as expected. Leave ink
cartridges in all slots even while you do not use the
printer.
