6.4 CLEANING THE WIPERS
When the head is cleaned and the type of ink is changed frequently, waste matter clinging to the cleaning
wiper may cause the printing to become faint or blemished. In such cases, you should clean the cleaning
wiper.
Step 1 :
Switch off the power, lower the hold lever and bring the head to the middle.
Caution:
• Don't move the head with the hold lever up. The head and media keeper blade may
touch, causing damage and poor printing quality.
Step 2 :
Clean the cleaning wiper backwards and forwards two or three times with a polynit wiper.
Caution:
• Clean without your hand coming into direct contact with the head cap unit, which is
near the cleaning wiper. Otherwise oil may get on the cleaning wiper and it will be
unable to clean the head properly.
• Don't lift up the cleaning wiper when you are cleaning it. Otherwise it be unable to
clean the head properly.
• The cleaning wiper and its surroundings will be soiled with waste liquid. Be careful not
to dirty your hands and clothes.
Step 3 :
Return the head to its former position at the right hand end of the printer.
Caution:
• The head may be damaged by drying ink, etc. if it is not returned to the right hand end
of the printer.
Note:
• After the cleaning wiper has been cleaned, if head cleaning does not make the
faintness or blemishing in the printing disappear, contact your local Mutoh dealer.
