Perform a printing test.
Before you carry out actual printing, perform a printing test to ensure no dot drop-out or dot dis
-
placement occurs.
Procedure
A
Before the start of daily operations, remove just the white ink cartridge, shake it 50
times (about 20 seconds), and then reinsert it.
So that the ink mixes well, shake the ink cartridge horizontally with a stroke length of around 5
cm (2 in.) from each end of the ink cartridge.
IMPORTANT
The ingredients in white ink tend to settle. The precipitation of the ingredients in the ink disables
printing in normal color. Allowing the ink to stand without carrying out these steps can cause the
settled material to harden, resulting in malfunction or other problems.

Because white ink is printed on a black undercoat, white ink can be easily checked even when
printed on white paper. However, printing takes longer than "TEST PRINT."
