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)

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.

• Cotton swabs
• Goggle, Gloves

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)

Cleaning the nozzle [Nozzle Cleaning]
Clean up the nozzle as for nozzle clogging.
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.
