CAUTION 1:
When to Clean the Head
“Head Cleaning” must be carried out whenever this printer is moved by truck (refer
to CON 6000) or when the parts shown below are replaced. (Refer to REP1620)
When this operation is performed, there is a risk that the inks remaining in the head
and ink tubes may be spilt and soil the printer.

Ink Tubes
CAUTION 2:
Head Cleaning Jig
When you are using the Head Cleaning Jig, the 100 cc jig bottle should contain at
least 50 cc of cleaning fluid and its cap should be loosened.
If the cap of the jig bottle is tightly closed, the ink will flow back into the bottle.
Also, when you have finished using the Head Cleaning Jig, return the cleaning fluid
from the 100 cc bottle to the 500 cc cleaning fluid bottle (JD-42054).

What to do After the Initial Filling
Wait for at least 30 minutes after the initial filling before you use the printer for print-
ing. Otherwise picture quality can not be assured.
