Periodical cleaning of the wiper
Cleaning the wiper
The wipers are provided for cleaning the heads. As the plotter is used to plot images, the
wipers gradually become stained with ink and dust. Clean stained wipers.
The wiper is separately available from your local distributor or our office.
Notes on handling the wipers
• Avoid contacting the rubber portion of the new wiper. Contacting it will result
in clogged nozzle.
• Clean the two wipers at a time.
• The front side of each wiper is made of felt, and the rear side is made of rubber.
Do not rub the felt side with a swab. Instead, press the swab against the felt side
surface to remove dirt. Rubbing the felt side surface will make it fluffy and result
in clogged nozzle. Wipe ink off the rubber side surface with a swab.
• When executing this function, the carriage will come out of the capping sta-
tion. If the carriage is left in the aforementioned state for an extended period
of time, the nozzles can be clogged. Once the replacement of the wiper and
the cleaning of the caps have been completed, immediately press the [EN-
TER] key to allow the carriage to return to the capping station.
STEPS:
1. Execute the station maintenance [CARRIAGEout]
to move the carriage.
(See the steps 1 to 4 on page 4.8)
2. Open the maintenance cover.
3. Clean up the wiper as described below.
4. Close the maintenance cover, then press the
[ENTER] key.
