IMPORTANT

Important notes on this procedure

  • Before attempting this operation, remove any media.
  • To prevent the print heads from drying out, finish this procedure in 30 minutes or less. A warning beep sounds after 30 minutes.
  • 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 cleaning liquid other than the included cleaning liquid.
  • 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.
  • Never rub the print head surface (nozzle surface).
  • If you use up the cleaning sticks or cleaning liquid, contact your authorized dealer or visit our website (https://www.rolanddg.com/).

When an alarm sounds during cleaning

  • A warning beep sounds 30 minutes after operation starts. Stop work, close all the covers, and then press [ENTER] to end the manual cleaning mode. After that, restart the procedure from the beginning.
