Be sure to follow the instructions shown below when the printer is not in use 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 main power is on, the machine periodically performs automatic maintenance in which fluid is discharged.
The drain bottle is filled when the following periods elapse. Leaving the drain bottle as-is will lead to the discharged fluid overflowing.

-
Switch on the sub power once every 2 weeks.
Switch on the sub power once every 2 weeks. When you turn on the power, the machine automatically performs operations such as those to keep the print heads from drying out. 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.
Refresh the heads if a message prompting you to do so is displayed when you switch on the sub power.
-
Keep the machine at a constant temperature and humidity.
Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F) and a humidity of 20 to 80%RH (with no condensation). Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
