VG2 Series Maintenance Guide
Measures When the Printer Is Not in Use for Prolonged Period
Be sure to follow the instructions shown below when the printer is not in use for a prolonged
period.

Empty the drain bottle.
If you know that you will not use the machine for a prolonged period, empty the drain bottle.
When the main power is on, the machine periodically performs automatic maintenance in
which fluid is discharged.
The drain bottle is filled when the following periods elapse. Leaving the drain bottle as-is will lead to the discharged fluid
overflowing.

Do not allow machine to run out of ink or cleaning liquid.
The machine discharges ink and cleaning liquid during the automatic maintenance that is
performed periodically. Set in the machine ink and cleaning liquid pouches having sufficient
remaining ink and cleaning liquid. The machine cannot perform automatic maintenance if it
has run out of ink or cleaning liquid.

Switch on the sub power once a month.
Switch on the sub power once a month. When you turn on the power, the machine
automatically performs operations such as those to keep the print heads from drying out.
Leaving the machine unused for a prolonged period may damage the print heads, so be sure
to switch on the power to perform these automatic operations.

Keep the machine at a constant temperature and relative humidity.
Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40 degrees Celsius and
a relative humidity of 20 to 80% (with no condensation). Temperatures that are too high may
degrade the ink and cause malfunctions. Temperatures that are too low may cause the ink to
freeze and damage the print heads.
