Replacing the Wiper

The wiper is a component that you use when cleaning the print heads.

When it is almost time to replace the wiper, the message There are not many wipers remaining. Immediately stock up on wipers. Leaving the printer in a state in which it does not have a wiper will lead to head damage. appears. If you do not have a wiper in stock, order a replacement immediately. We recommend that you always keep a replacement wiper on hand. Depending on where the wiper must be shipped to, it may take time for an ordered wiper to reach you.
