Manual Cleaning Method
IMPORTANT
- Be sure to use different cleaning sticks in the color ink side and the structural ink side. Using the same cleaning stick may lead to the structural ink and color ink mixing, resulting in ink hardening and discharge issues.
- Never use any implements other than the included cleaning sticks. Cotton swabs or other lint-producing items may damage the print heads.
- Do not use a dropper or cleaning liquid other than those included.
- Be sure to use new cleaning sticks. Reusing cleaning sticks will adversely affect the printing results.
- Do not put a cleaning stick that has been used for cleaning into the cleaning liquid. Doing so will deteriorate the cleaning liquid.
- To prevent the print heads from drying out, finish this procedure in 30 minutes or less. After 30 minutes, the alarm will sound, so pause the procedure and perform the following operations.
- Close all the covers.
- Tap Finish All to end manual cleaning.
- Restart the cleaning procedure from the beginning.
