Cleaning The Wiper And Ink Caps [Carriage Out] - MIMAKI JV5-130S Operation Manual

Cleaning the wiper and ink caps [CARRIAGE OUT]

The ink caps prevent the nozzles in the heads from drying and thus being clogged.
The wiper wipes off the ink adhering to the surface of nozzles.
As the printer is used, the wiper and ink caps gradually become stained with ink and dust.
If nozzle missing cannot be corrected even after executing the CLEANING function (Refer to ?If the
printed pattern is abnormal (Cleaning) (p.3-29)? ) , use Cleaning kit and cotton swab.
