Follow these guidelines if you need to store your printer for a
long period:
- If the
printer is not used for an extended period of time, perform the
prolonged storage operation using the cleaning cartridge. If the
printer is stored without performing this operation, it may be
impossible to unclog the print head.
- We recommend
that you print once a week if the printer is not used for a long
time without performing the prolonged storage operation. If you do
not print for a long time, the print head nozzles may become
clogged.
- If you do
not use the printer for a long time, make sure you check for
clogged nozzles before printing. If clogged nozzles are detected,
clean the suction/cleaning cap and then clean the print head.
- Even if the
printer is not turned on, ink that has accumulated in the waste ink
tubes may leak out. Make sure the waste ink bottle is installed
even when the printer is not on.
- Make sure
that the print head has been capped (the print head is positioned
on the right side) before storing the printer. If it is left
uncapped for a long time, the print quality may decline, and it may
be impossible to unclog the print head. If an error occurs and the
printer is turned off without first resolving the error, the print
head may not be capped on the right side, which causes the print
head to dry out. In this case, turn on the power and wait a while
until capping is performed automatically.
- Close all
the covers on the printer to prevent dust and debris from getting
in. If the printer will be not be used for an extended period of
time, protect it with an anti-static cloth or other cover. The
print head nozzles can become clogged if fine dust gets on the
print head, and you may not be able to print properly.
