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
printhead nozzles may become clogged. We recommend that you turn on
the product once every six weeks to prevent the nozzles from
clogging. Head cleaning is performed automatically after the
printer is turned on. Do not turn the printer off until Head
Cleaning is complete. Leaving the printer for too long without
turning it on may result in a malfunction.
- 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 printhead. After you remove the media, move the
media loading lever to the front.
- Make sure that the printhead 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 printhead to the home
position.
- Close all
the covers on the printer to prevent dust and debris from getting
in. If the printer will not be used for an extended period of time,
protect it with an anti-static cloth or other cover. The printhead
nozzles can become clogged if fine dust gets on the printhead, 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 printhead, if necessary.
- When storing the product, make sure it is level and do not
store it at an angle, on end, or upside down.
