Requests for Care and Maintenance
This machine is a precision machine equipped with extremely fine mechanisms. Especially, the nozzle sur-
face of the heads from which the ink is discharged is affected even by a slightest attachment of dust or paper
powder and the proper printing results could not be obtained. With a view to using this machine in a better
condition, we would like to recommend performing the following care and maintenance on daily basis.

2. Daily care
(1) Surroundings of the heads ("Cleaning the Head and the Area around It" Chapter 4 of
the Operation Manual)
1Move the carriage to the left and open the left
maintenance cover.
• Refer to the Step 1 to 5 of Chapter 4 “Cleaning the Head and
the Area around It” of the user’s manual to perform the
operation.
2Hold The Handle And Shift The Flushing Unit.
• Refer to the Step ６of Chapter 4 “Cleaning the Head and the
Area around It” of the user’s manual to perform the operation.
3Soak the clean stick or the waste cloth
in the maintenance cleaning liquid and
wipe off an accumulated ink on the side
of the head and on the bottom surface of
the slider.
• Never rub the nozzles.
• When possible, use the cleaning stick (SPC-0527) for cleaning around the head/ capping station/ wiper.
Using the other cotton bud may attach lint, then it may damage the machine.
• Be sure to perform maintenance for the ink cap and the wiper of capping station every day. If you leave it
dirty, dirt may adhere to the nozzle surface, or, dust and dry ink may be rubbed against the nozzle. It may
cause discharge defect.
• Clean the bottom of carriage every day so that it will not get dirt from inks or dusts. If you leave it dirty, dust
and dry ink may be rubbed against the nozzle at wiping operation when performing head cleaning.
• When you clean the carriage bottom surface, fully be careful not to rub the nozzle surface.
• The heads and their surroundings are the parts most liable to be tainted in this machine and if
tainted, it could cause adverse effects to the functions of the machine and the results of the printings.
Moreover, as the head itself uses very fine mechanisms, sufficient precautions are required for the
care and maintenances.

(5) Media press (“Cleaning the Media Press” Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)
When the cut dust of the media and other dusts accumulate between the media holder and the platen, it could
cause the risks that the transfer of the media could not be performed properly or such dusts stick to the noz-
zles and this could interfere the proper printings. You are recommended to clean it frequently.
(6) Media sensor ("Cleaning the Media Sensor" Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)
The media sensors are located on the platen (for two positions) in the backside and the bottom surface of the
head.
If the dusts and ink accumulate on the sensor, it could cause false detection of the media or the register mark.
Wipe off the sensors with soft cloth or clean sticks.
• For the cleaning of the media sensors, never use the solvent.
• When the sensor is heavily stained, wipe off with a cloth soaked in the waterdiluted neutral
detergent.

3. Periodically care (Once a week)
Users are advised to perform the maintenance works described below once a week so that the printer will
keep its high performance and accuracy over an extended period of its life.
(1) Platen (“Cleaning the Platen” Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)
Platen is a place where dusts, paper powder, and ink
are liable to accumulate. It is therefore suggested to
clean it frequently. Wipe out the platen surface and the
platen cover with a soft blush or cloth. The grooves for
media holder and for cutting the paper (cutter line) are
the place where the dusts are especially liable to accu-
mulate. Clean them thoroughly.
(2) Exterior (“Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces” Chapter 4, Operation Manual)
Depending on the using environment, the dusts or
sand powder could stick to the exterior of the main
unit. To avoid the entry of the dusts into the moving
part of the head, wipe them off with soft cloth dipped
into water and squeezed tightly.
(3) Waste ink tank (“If a Waste Ink Tank Confirmation Message Appears” Chapter 4 of
the Operation Manual)
Check whether the waste ink tank is full or not. Take care so that the waste ink never overflows the tank.
