Printing Data
Before Print Start
Check the conditions of the ink tank and waste ink tank before starting printing.
If the amount of ink in the ink tank is low or the waste ink tank is full, the machine will make a beeping
sound.
For details about how to replenish ink, see page 121 "Replenishing Ink".
For details about how to dispose of waste ink, see page 124 "Disposing of Waste Ink".
• If the ink tank becomes empty during printing or the waste ink tank is full, printing will be interrupted
and the carriage will return to the home position.
Start Printing
Before you start printing, print a test pattern and check for ink ejection defects such as nozzle clogging
(blurring or drop-out of printing). For details, see page 46 "Test Printing".
Set the printing media in advance. For details, see page 53 "Setting Media".
• If the carriage is not returned to the home position, click [Home] on the toolbar to return the
carriage to the home position.
• As you may not obtain the printing result you want for some printing data or media types, we
recommend performing test printing beforehand.
• Media may be heated by the UV lamp and raised, causing printing to be interrupted. In such cases,
set the new media and perform printing again.
• Be sure to prevent ink from adhering to the table by setting sufficient margins or pasting a masking
tape to the outer part of the media, etc.
• If the printing contents are accidentally printed on the table, stop printing immediately and wipe
off the adhering ink with a dry cloth. For details about how to remove ink adhering to the table,
see "Removing Ink Adhering to the Table", Requests for Daily Care and Maintenance.
• Wipe off the media surface before printing to improve ink adhesion.
