❏
As well as being expended during printing, ink is
used during Print Head Cleaning and other
maintenance operations required to keep the
print head in working order.
Notes when not using the printer
If you are not using it, note the following points when
storing the printer. If it is not stored correctly, you
may not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏
If the printer will not be used for more than two
weeks (and will be turned off at this time), use the
cleaning ink supply unit (sold separately) and
perform pre-storage maintenance. Leaving the
heads unwashed causes permanent clogs.
See the following for more information.
U
“Long-term Storage (Pre-storage
❏
If you do not print for a long time and do not
perform pre-storage maintenance, turn the
printer on at least once a week.
If you do not print for a long time, the print head
nozzles may become clogged. Print Head
Cleaning will be performed automatically after
the printer is turned on and started. Print Head
Cleaning prevents clogged print heads and
maintains print quality. Do not turn the printer
off until Print Head Cleaning is complete.
❏
If you have not used the printer for a long time,
check the print head for clogging before you start
printing. Perform Print Head Cleaning if the print
head is clogged.

❏
When storing the printer in an environment
below -15°C (5°F), make sure you execute
Keeping Preparation
in the settings menu. If the
printer is stored without executing this procedure,
the print head could be damaged.

❏
The pressure rollers may crease media left in the
printer. The media may also become wavy or
curled, causing jams or resulting in the media
coming into contact with the print head. Remove
the media before putting the printer in storage.
After removing the media, move the media
loading lever to the front.
❏
Store the printer after confirming that the print
head has been capped (the print head is
positioned at the far right). If the print head is left
uncapped for a long time, the print quality may
decline.
Note:
If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and
then turn it off.
❏
Close all covers before placing the printer in
storage. If you are not using the printer for a long
time, put an anti-static cloth or cover on the
printer to prevent dust. The print head nozzles
are very small, and they can become clogged
easily if fine dust gets on the print head, and you
may not be able to print properly.
❏
When storing the printer, be sure that it is level:
do not store it on an angle, on end, or upside down.
Notes on handling the ink
supply units
Note the following points when handling ink supply
units to maintain good print quality.
❏
Extra ink is required to fully charge the print head
nozzles the first time the printer is used; therefore,
replacement ink supply units will be needed
earlier than usual.
❏
Store ink supply units at room temperature out of
direct sunlight.
❏
To ensure print quality, we recommend using all
of the ink before whichever of the following dates
is earlier:
❏
The expiry date shown on the ink supply unit
packaging
❏
One year from the date the ink supply unit
was installed in the ink unit
❏
If you move the ink supply units from a cold place
to a warm place, leave them at room temperature
for more than four hours before using them.
❏
Do not touch the ink supply unit IC chip. You
may not be able to print properly.
