Storing the Printer

When storing the printer, make sure to leave the ink cartridges installed and place it on a horizontal surface, and also inform the user on the following cautions.

When not using the printer for a long time

  • Turn on the printer and print at least once a week to prevent the Print Head from clogging.
  • Remove the media. Remove the media. If the media is left set for a long time, nip impression of the press roller may remain on the media, or the media may ripple.
  • Check that the Print Head is capped properly.
  • Close all the covers.
  • Protect the printer with an anti-static cloth or other cover.

Before using the printer again

  • Make sure to print a nozzle check pattern and check for clogging of the Print Head. If any clogging can be seen, carry out a head cleaning.

After performing the head cleaning a few times, try turning off the printer and leaving it overnight or longer, so that the ink may dissolve and the clogging might be improved.
