Nozzle Manually". If you need to replace the print heads, contact your service representative.
Performing nozzle maintenance
Immerse print heads in caps filled up with the cleaning liquid for a specified period, and then clean the
nozzles. Perform this function when the machine is not used for 1 week or more or nozzle defects are not
resolved after head cleaning is performed.
• When cleaning the ink-station or the heads, or replacing the cleaning cartridge, make sure to
wear the attached goggles.
• When performing maintenance on the machine, make sure to wear the attached gloves.
• If ink, flushing liquid, and displacement liquid get into contact with eyes, wash eyes immediately
with running water. Consult a doctor if necessary.
• If ink, flushing liquid, or displacement liquid are ingested, consult a doctor immediately with
Safety Data Sheet (SDS).
• The supplied gloves are consumables. If they are damaged or lost, use polythene gloves
instead.
• Do not place any object on the platen as the carriage moves there.
• When the carriage moves, it may make contact with media. Check that the media is not deformed
or that there is no floating media.
• When 10 minutes or more have passed after the carriage moves, the machine will make a buzzer
sound. As nozzle dryness may cause a nozzle defect, perform nozzle maintenance promptly.
