Follow these guidelines if you need to store your printer for a
long period:
- If there are
no white ink supply units loaded in the printer and the printer
will not be used (and will be switched off) for an extended period,
use an optional cleaning ink supply unit and perform long-term
storage maintenance. Otherwise, it may be impossible to clear
clogging in the print head. See the link below for more
information.
- We recommend
that you turn on the printer at least 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. Maintenance cleaning is automatically
performed after the printer is turned on. Maintenance cleaning
helps prevent clogging in the print head and maintains print
quality. Do not turn the printer off until maintenance cleaning is
complete.
- 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
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 left 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 clear clogged nozzles. If the print head is not
capped, turn the printer on, check that capping has been performed,
and then turn the printer off.
- 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.
