Capping station
The capping station consists of the ink caps, the wiper for cleaning

The wiper cleans the nozzles in the heads.
The wiper is consumable.If the wiper is deformed or the media is
stained, replace the wiper with a new one. (
P.4-31)
Pinch rollers and Feed rollers
This machine retains the media with the pinch rollers and feed rollers. During printing operation, the feed rollers
feed the media forward.
• Be sure to wear the attached goggles in cleaning within the capping station to protect your eyes
against ink. Otherwise, you may get ink in your eyes.
• If the capping station is subjected to sunlight or
artificial light, the ink inside the capping station will
become cured, resulting in reduced image quality
and malfunctions. Therefore, the cover should be
closed as soon as possible after maintenance is
complete.
• Keep the pinch rollers lifted up when this machine is not in use. If the pinch rollers are left lowered for
an extended period of time, they can be deformed and fail to securely retain the media.
