Cleaning The Heater Cover
The pre-heater cover and the post-heater cover become
more likely to become dirty with media powder and the
like.
If dirt is conspicuous, include soft cloth with water or
diluted neutral detergent, tightly squeezed and wipe it.
Cleaning the Media Sensor
The media sensors are located on the platen in the
backside (3 places) and the bottom surface of the head (1
place). When the sensor is covered with dust, etc., it may
cause false detection of media.
Using a cotton swab, remove the dust, etc. accumulated
on the surface of the sensor.
When cleaning the sensor on the lower surface of the
head is cleaned, move the carriage to the left end by the
operations of step 1 of P.4-11 “Cleaning the Ink Head and
the Area around It”, and clean it.
• Clean the heater cover, after lower the heater
temperature sufficiently.
