Inkjet printer JFX500-2131

Requests for Daily Care and Maintenance

This machine is a precision machine equipped with extremely fine mechanisms. Especially, the nozzle sur-
face of the heads from which the ink is discharged is affected even by a slightest attachment of dust or paper 
powder and the proper printing results could not be obtained. With a view to using this machine in a better 
condition, we would like to recommend performing the following care and maintenance on daily basis.
