Follow these guidelines if you need to store your product for an
extended period:
- Maintenance is necessary before storing the product for 2 weeks
or more. Contact Epson support for assistance.
- We recommend
that you turn on the product at least once every 14 days if it has
not been used for two weeks or more and the storage maintenance has
not been performed. If you do not print for a long time, the
printhead nozzles may become clogged. Maintenance cleaning is
automatically performed after the product is turned on. It helps
prevent clogging in the printhead and maintains print quality. Do
not turn the product off until maintenance cleaning is
complete.
- If you do
not use the product for a long time, make sure you perform a nozzle
check before printing. If clogged nozzles are detected, clean the
printhead.
- Do not
remove the maintenance box even when the product is turned off.
Otherwise, waste ink may dry and solidify inside the printer.
- Make sure
the printhead is positioned on the right side at the back of the
flatbed. If it's not, turn on the product, wait for the printhead
to move to the right side at the back, then turn off the printer
again.
- Close all
the covers on the product to prevent dust and debris from getting
in, and protect it with an anti-static cloth or other cover. The
printhead nozzles can become clogged if dust gets on the printhead,
and you may not be able to print properly.
There are other precautions for using white ink in addition to
those in this section. See the link below for more information.
