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, place the
printer into storage mode. If the printer is stored without
performing this operation, the print head nozzles may become
clogged.
- 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 use the printer for a long time, make sure you perform a nozzle
check 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 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. If this occurs, turn on the power 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 dust gets on the print
head, and you may not be able to print properly.
