 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 disconnect the power plug. 

1. Press the 

Power

 button on the printer to turn it off.

2. Make sure that the 

Power

 lamp is not lit.

3. Disconnect the power plug from the wall outlet, or turn off the extender cable connector.

If you press the 

Power

 button to turn off the power, the printer caps the Print Head (nozzles)

automatically to prevent from drying. If you disconnect the power plug 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 disconnect the power plug, 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 printer has not been

used for a long time.

We recommend the printer to be used at least once a month.

 Ink is mixed at fixed intervals. 

The printer is set to automatically mix the ink to maintain optimal printing quality. Therefore,
printing on a regular basis helps keep the ink in good condition. If the printer is not used for an
extended period of time, the printer will automatically mix the ink when the power is turned on.
However, if the function of automatic ink mixing is disabled or the colors on the printout become
uneven, mix the ink manually.
See 

Maintaining Ink Quality

.

 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.

 Does the printer need to be handled with care when using or

transporting? 

 Tip!: Do not use or transport the printer vertically or slanted! 

If the printer is used or transported vertically or slanted, the printer may become damaged or ink may
leak from the printer.
Be sure not to use or transport the printer vertically or slanted.

 Tip!: Do not place any object on the Top Cover! 

Do not place any object on the Top Cover. It will fall into the Rear Tray when the Top Cover is opened and
cause the printer to malfunction.
Also, place the printer where objects will not fall on it.
