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, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that you print once every
week to prevent the nozzles from clogging.
- Remove any
loaded media before storing the printer to prevent the pressure
rollers from causing creases in the media, which may cause jams or
damage to the print head.
- Make sure that the print head is in the home (or capped)
position before storing the printer. If it is left away from the
home position for a long time, the print quality may decline. Turn
the printer on and then off again to move the print head to the
home position.
- 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.
- If the printer is turned on after an extended period of time
with the power off, run a nozzle check before you start printing
and clean the print head, if necessary.
