Switch the power on once every two weeks
Switch the sub power on once every two weeks. 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°C (41 to 104°F) and a relative humidity
of 20 to 80% RH (with no condensation). Not doing so may cause the machine to break down.
Alarm Function
The alarm feature reminds you to switch on the sub power once a month.
When the machine remains unused for about one month, this screen
appears and a warning beep sounds. If this screen appears, switch on the
sub power. When maintenance operations finish, switch off the sub power.
This function operates when the printer's main power is turned on. Leave
the main power switched on at all times even when the printer is to remain
out of use for a prolonged period.
Important Note on Draining Ink
Although this machine has features for draining internal ink, it should never
be used except in special cases. Allowing the machine to stand without ink
for a prolonged period may damage the heads. Once ink has been filled,
then as a rule the ink should never be drained.
