When the Machine Will Not Be Used for a Prolonged Period

Empty the drain bottle.

If you know that you will not use the machine for a prolonged period, empty the drain bottle. When the power is on, the machine periodically performs automatic maintenance in which fluid is discharged.

When the drain bottle becomes full, automatic maintenance is not performed. Therefore periodically check the discharged fluid even when the machine is not used for a prolonged period.

Procedure when the machine will not be used for three days or longer

To prevent the print heads from drying out and prevent clogging of the print head nozzles, drip three to five drops of cleaning fluid onto the cap top and then place the print head and cap top in close contact. For more information, refer to Protecting the Print Heads When the Machine Will Not be Used for a Prolonged Period.

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.
