When Not Using for a Long Period of Time

If the printer will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable, and then unplug the
power cable from the wall outlet.
Be careful of the following:
The nozzles of the print-heads may dry out and become clogged. To prevent this, periodically print some-
thing. Even if you do not print anything, turn the printer on for a few minutes once a month.
If you do not use the printer for a long period of time, always check if the nozzles are clogged by printing
a nozzle check test pattern. Clean the print-heads as necessary, and then begin printing.
If you do not use the printer at least for 8 hours, printing may not be performed normally even if head clean-
ing is performed multiple times. If this happens, turn the power off and leave the printer alone for a while.
Then, turn the power on again and perform the nozzle check and head cleaning.
After head cleaning is performed multiple times, clogged ink will dissolve over time, and normal printing may become possible.
If there is no improvement after performing the steps above, contact sales or service representative.
