When performing any printer maintenance procedures,
follow these safety instructions:
- Always wear a mask, gloves, and protective eye wear when
performing printer maintenance. Should any waste ink, ink cleaner,
or tube cleaning solution come in contact with your skin or enter
your eyes or mouth, immediately take the following actions:
- If fluid gets on to your skin, immediately wash it off using
soap and water. Consult a physician if the skin appears irritated
or discolored.
- If fluid gets in your eyes, rinse immediately with water.
Failure to observe this precaution could result in bloodshot eyes
or mild inflammation. If problems persist, consult a
physician.
- If fluid gets in your mouth, consult a physician
immediately.
- If fluid is swallowed, do not induce vomiting and consult a
physician immediately. If vomiting is induced, fluid may get caught
in the trachea which can be dangerous.
- Store ink cartridges, waste ink, ink cleaner, tube cleaning
solution, and cleaning cartridges out of the reach of
children.
- Wash your hands thoroughly after performing any maintenance
procedure.
- Remove any
loaded T-shirt from the printer.
- Touch a
metal object before starting operations to disperse any static
electricity.
- Do not touch
the carriage shaft inside the printer. This may cause an
operational error or a malfunction.
- To prevent
the print head from drying out, finish cleaning the suction cap and
replacing the head cleaning set within 10 minutes. After 10
minutes, the printer displays a message.
- Do not touch
any parts or circuit boards other than the parts you are
maintaining. This may cause a malfunction or decline in print
quality.
- Always use
new cleaning sticks to avoid getting the printer parts dirty.
- Do not touch
the tip of the cleaning stick with your hand. Oils on your hand may
compromise cleaning ability.
- Do not use
water or organic solvents such as alcohol on the suction cap or the
wiper unit. If ink is mixed with water or alcohol, it may
solidify.
- Do not wipe
the suction cap or the anti-drying caps with organic solvents such
as alcohol. Otherwise a print head malfunction may occur.
