Disposing
When disposing of the printer, be sure to comply with local disposal regulations.
When Not Using for a Long Period of Time
Sawgrass recommends that the printer be used often to ensure the print head
nozzles do not become clogged.
Sawgrass also recommends keeping the printer powered on at all times. This will
allow the printer to run automatic maintenance utilities for optimal performance.
The printer consumes a considerable of ink for maintenance and print head
cleaning when used after a long period of inactivity.
When not in use, be careful of the following:
Even with automatic maintenance utilities, the nozzles of the print heads may dry out
and become clogged. To prevent this, periodically print something.
If you choose to ignore Sawgrass’ recommendations and power the printer off during
periods of inactivity, at least turn the printer on for a few minutes once every 20-25
days, even if you don’t print anything.
If you want to print something after the printer has not been used for a period of time,
always check for missing nozzles by printing a nozzle check test pattern. See section
"Nozzle Check" for more information.
If necessary, clean the print heads up to five (5) times prior to printing. See section
"Head-cleaning" for more information.
If (5) head cleans do not clear missing nozzles, perform one (1) head flush. See
section "Head-flushing" for more information.
