Usage Precautions
In the case where the operation of the IJ printer is irregular (the IJ printer is shut
down for a few weeks in a row, for instance) in conjunction with production and
so on, there is a possibility of occurrence of a problem such as no ink ejecting
when operating the printer or no recovery possible due to accretion of the ink
inside the printer.
The period of possible shutdown is different according to the temperature of the
storage as described in the table below. When you are to use the printer in such
a manner, it is necessary to operate it (eject the ink) regularly within an
estimatedperiod of possible shutdown or perform storage work for the long-term
shutdown.
(The storage work for the long-term shutdown is to drain the ink in the ink
circulation system and refill it with the makeup ink, which requires a specific
operation on a restart. See "7.15 Long-term shutdown" for details.)
Moreover, in the case of operating it regularly, note that the time necessary for
operating it once is different according to the ink to be used and ambient
temperature of the place for the operation. (It is different depending on major
components of a solvent of the ink.)

*1: Maximum period possible to be continuously shut down without operation.
It is necessary to operate it at least once during this period.
*2: The values in the table indicate the case of an MEK-based ink.
See "1.2.5 Cautions on operating time when printer is in service" for the case of
an ethanol-based ink.
*3: JP-K77, JP-K81 and JP-K86 ink. See "1.2.1(4) j Caution of JP-K77, JP-K81 and
JP-K86".
Even if the treatment for long-term shutdown has been performed,
restart may not succeed due to accretion of ink components. Ask your
serviceman for restart whenever possible.
(In cases where temperature in the storage place is high [30
℃
or
higher], or shutdown period has exceeded six months, be sure to ask
your serviceman for restart.)
