Daily Care Manual

D201260

This inkjet plotter is the precision machine that has highly delicate mechanism. Especially, dust and

paper powder may have effect on a head nozzle firing ink, and may not get normal plotting.

To use the inkjet plotter in good condition, we recommend the following daily care.

Be sure to conduct maintenance works for the machine when necessary or periodically so

as to use the plotter for a long time while keeping its plotting accuracy.

Precautions during cleaning

•When using the cleaning liquid RS for maintenance, be sure to wear the

goggle and gloves.

•Never disassemble the plotter. Disassembling the plotter can result in

electric shock hazards and breakage of the machine.

•Prevent moisture from entering inside the plotter. If the inner part of the

plotter becomes wet, electric shock hazards and breakage of the machine

can result.

•Conduct maintenance works after turning off the power switch and detach-

ing the power cable. If not, unexpected troubles can arise.

Keep to the time limit, 1 hour as power-off. If the power is turned on for

more than 1 hour, the nozzle-clogging preventative function does not work.

In addition, if the power is turned off for more than 5 days, the ink flushing

does not work either.

•Do not wipe the nozzles, wiper, or cap of the head with water of alcohol as

doing so may cause nozzle clogging or damage to nozzles.

•Do not use benzene, thinner and chemical agents containing abrasives.

Such materials can deteriorate or deform the surface of the cover.

•Do not apply lubricating oil or the like inside the plotter. Such materials can

cause the plotter mechanism to fail.

•Be careful not to allow the cleaning liquid RS for maintenance or ink to

adhere to the cover as this may cause deterioration or discoloring of the

surface of the cover.

In case defective plotting is not fixed

When the station interior is severely contaminated or defective plotting is not fixed after

cleaning by the head cleaning function ( Operation manual P.2-12), clean the suction

nozzles and the caps using the cleaning kit as follows:

Cleaning liquid RS for maintenance, Gloves, Cleaning swab(SPC-0386), Goggles

•When cleaning the station and the heads, be sure to wear the supplied

goggle and gloves to protect you from hazardous ink.

•Do not use alcohol or water.

•Do not move the carriage out of the capping station by hand. Use the

appropriate operation key to move the carriage.

The examples of defective plotting

These following examples indicate defective plotting by using improper heads(nozzles) with

dust. Confirm the nozzle condition periodically before or during outputting not to use in

such as these condition. The nozzle condition can be confirmed by [test print] in this plotter.

(Operation manual page 2.12)

Deflection Nozzle out

Ink dropping Satellite

Cleaning the ink at the bottom of the slider

The ink may gel and collect under the slider after a long use. The ink droplets may grow in

size and smear the work as a result. To prevent this problem, wet the supplied cotton swab

in the cleaning liquid RS for maintenance and use it to remove the ink from under the head

in regular intervals.

•Do not use the cotton swab on the head nozzles. The cotton swab may

damage the nozzles and cause poor ink delivery.

Cleaning Tools :

• Cleaning liquid RS for maintenance (SPC-0336: Option)

• Cotton swabs

• syringe

• Goggle, Gloves

Routine maintenance

Maintenance for frame components

If the frame components of the plotter have become dirty, wipe off the dirt of the frame with

soft cloth sopped in water or neutral detergent with water and squeezed. Wipe off dust on

the table.

Cleaning Tools :

• Neutral detergent

• Soft cloth (quantity)

Cleaning the wiper and ink caps

The ink cap prevents clogging of the head nozzle caused by dried nozzle.

The wiper wipes out ink adhered to the head nozzle.

As the device is used to plot images, the wipers and ink caps gradually become stained

with ink and dust. Use the cotton swab to clean the ink and wiper.

•When cleaning the machine, be sure to wear the goggle and gloves to

prevent from getting ink in your eyes or on hands.

•Remove dust from the wiper before starting head cleaning. A dusty wiper

may damage the head and cause defective plotting.

•Clean the two wipers at a time.

•Do not move the carriage out of the capping station by hand. Use the

appropriate operation key to move the carriage.

•Do not touch rubber of the new wiper as this may cause clogged nozzles.

•Once the replacement of the wiper and the cleaning of the caps have been

completed, immediately press the [ENTER] key to allow the carriage to

return to the capping station. If the carriage is left in the aforementioned

state for an extended period of time, the nozzles can be clogged.

wiper with a new one. At the time of

replacement, be sure to terminate the

plotter operation and follow the wiper

replacement procedure.

( Operation manual page 5.9)

8. Clean the wiper guide shaft using a cotton

swab or cloth.

If dirt is hard to remove, use a cotton swab of

If nozzle clogging cannot be resolved even after cleaning several times, execute the [Ink

Filling] function. ( Operation manual page 5.11)

If this error cannot be resolved with these functions, contact the dealer.

•Two colors (two cartridges) per head are used. If the remaining amount of

one ink is extremely greater than another ink's amount, it may flow into the

cartridge which has lesser ink to make their ink-head even.

Execute the [Ink Filling] function ( Operation manual page.5-11) if the

inks are mixed.

•Operate it in the head only with the nozzle clogging.
