Maintenance That Should Be Performed Daily
Ink Cartridge Maintenance
Be sure to perform the following types of maintenance. The components in the ink have a tendency to precipi-
tate. The deposits may harden and cause problems including printer malfunctions if left alone for an extended
period of time, and this is especially true for the white ink.
Shake new ink cartridges 50 times (about 15 seconds) before installing them.
Every day before starting work, remove the white ink cartridges, shake them 50 times (about 15
seconds), and then reinsert them.
Cleaning
WARNING
Never use gasoline, alcohol, thinner, or any other flammable material.
Doing so may cause a fire.
Wipe away any buildup of ink or grime that has adhered to the machine as part of daily cleaning. In particular,
the flat table is likely to have a buildup of grime. Clean by wiping with a cloth moistened with neutral detergent
diluted with water then wrung dry.
Cleaning the Inside of the Machine
Frequently clean the inside of the machine using a vacuum cleaner or by wiping with a cloth moistened with
water then wrung dry. If dust and dirt accumulate in the machine, they are likely to affix to printed materials.
This machine is a precision device, and is sensitive to dust and dirt. Perform cleaning on a daily basis.
Never attempt to oil or lubricate the machine.
