Emergency Measure) Cleaning the Print Head Surface
When dot drop-out or dot deflection is not improved even if cleaning is performed several times, you can clean the surface of the print heads as an emergency measure. The print head surface (nozzle surface) is a very delicate mechanism, so work must be performed carefully and cautiously.
This operation is an emergency measure. It may damage defect-free parts depending on the symptoms, worsening the symptoms. If you have any questions, contact your authorized dealer.
IMPORTANT
Open and close the front cover and right cover gently. If you open and close them forcefully or release the cover when it is partly open, not only may it malfunction, but you may also be injured. When opening and closing the front cover, grasp the center of the front cover to open or close it.
