Maintenance Safety Instructions
When performing any printer maintenance procedures, follow these safety instructions:
• Remove any loaded T-shirt from the printer.
• Touch a metal object before starting operations to disperse any static electricity.
• Do not touch the carriage shaft inside the printer. This may cause an operational error or a
malfunction.
• To prevent the print head from drying out, finish cleaning the suction cap and replacing the head
cleaning set within 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, the printer displays a message.
• Do not touch any parts or circuit boards other than the parts you are maintaining. This may cause a
malfunction or decline in print quality.
• Always use new cleaning sticks to avoid getting the printer parts dirty.
• Do not touch the tip of the cleaning stick with your hand. Oils on your hand may compromise cleaning
ability.
• Do not use water or organic solvents such as alcohol on the suction cap or the wiper unit. If ink is
mixed with water or alcohol, it may solidify.
• Do not wipe the suction cap or the anti-drying caps with organic solvents such as alcohol. Otherwise a
print head malfunction may occur.
