How to maintain the optimal printing quality?
The key to printing with the optimal printing quality is to prevent the Print Head from drying or clogging.
Always follow the following steps for optimal printing quality.
Follow the procedure below to turn the power off.
1 Press the ON
button on the machine to turn it off.
2 Be sure that the Power lamp is not lit.
3 Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet, or turn off the extender cable connector.
If you press the
ON
button to turn off the power, the machine caps the Print Head (nozzles)
automatically to prevent from drying. If you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet or turn off
the extender cable connector before the
Power lamp is turned off, the Print Head will not be
capped properly and this will cause drying or clogging.
To turn off the power, be sure to follow this procedure.
Print periodically!
Just as the tip of a felt pen becomes dry and unusable if it has not been used for a long time,
even if it is capped, the Print Head too, may become dried or clogged if the machine has not
been used for a long time.
We recommend the machine to be used at least once a month.
Note
Depending on the type of paper, ink may blur if you trace the printed area with a highlight pen
or paint-stick, or bleed if water or sweat comes in contact with the printed area.
