Daily Care and Maintenance
This chapter describes how to care and maintain the machine.
About the Frequency of Maintenance
•Some parts of this machine must be replaced with a new one periodically by
service personnel. Be sure to make a contract with your distributor or dealer
for after sale service to ensure a long life of your machine.
•If the machine's interior is not cleaned regularly, dust will accumulate. Fire and
breakdown can result from heavy accumulation of dust inside this machine. Contact
your sales or service representative for details about and charges for cleaning the
machine's interior.
•When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, or replacing the cleaning
cartridge, make sure to wear the attached goggles.
•When performing maintenance on the machine, make sure to wear the attached gloves.
•Please use protective equipment in order to avoid exposure to liquid.
•The supplied gloves are consumables. If they are damaged or lost, use
polythene gloves instead.
Perform maintenance regularly in order to use the machine at its best possible condition. Make
sure to keep the nozzle parts of the print heads that discharge ink in good condition as they may
affect the printing results due to the adherence of particles or dust.

Tools required for maintenance
Be sure to wear the included protective glasses and protective gloves, or the
equivalent tools.
The following items are disposable: waste cloth (paper towel), non-woven
fabric, protective gloves, and cleaning stick. Be sure to use new ones instead
of reusing them.
When cleaning the caps and the area around the print heads, use a cleaning
stick. If you use a regular cotton swab, fluff may be left on the said areas and
cause a secondary malfunction.
•Waste cloth (paper towel)/Non-woven fabric
Used to clean the exterior of the machine and the nozzle faces of the print
heads. Do not use it to clean the caps or the area around the print heads.
•Cleaning stick
Used to clean the caps and the area around the print heads. Be sure to use it
for cleaning confined areas such as gaps or uneven surfaces.
•Cleaning liquid bottle
Use when removing dirt that is hard to remove or cured ink.
•Dropper
Use when filling the caps of the print heads with cleaning liquid. Suck up the
cleaning liquid from the cleaning liquid bottle before using.

Daily Maintenance
This section describes how to shake the white ink cartridge and clean the media guide. Perform
maintenance before daily work so the machine may be used safely for an extended period.
Shaking a White Ink Cartridge
As the components of white ink deposit easily, pull out the white ink cartridge, and then shake
it before daily work.
Shake the white ink cartridge when the following message appears on the display:
"White ink has settled. Please shake the white ink cartridge."
•Do not touch or stain the contacts of the ink cartridges, flushing cartridges, displacement liquid
cartridges, and cleaning cartridge, as doing so may cause damage to the print circuit board.
•If ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid get into contact with eyes, wash eyes
immediately with running water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
•If ink, flushing liquid, or displacement liquid are ingested, consult a doctor
immediately with Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
•Please use protective equipment in order to avoid exposure to liquid.
•When performing maintenance on the machine, make sure to wear the attached gloves.
•When removing jammed media or performing maintenance on the machine, avoid
getting ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid on your clothing. If ink, flushing
liquid, and displacement liquid come into contact with your clothing, wash the stained
area with water.
•When removing jammed media, replacing media, or performing maintenance on the
machine, avoid getting ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid on your skin. If ink,
flushing liquid, and displacement liquid come into contact with your skin, wash the
affected area thoroughly with soap and water.
•The supplied gloves are consumables. If they are damaged or lost, use polythene
gloves instead.
