Manual Cleaning Method

Perform manual cleaning once per week, if the inside of the machine is dirty due to ink mist, or if dot drop-out or ink drip issues that cannot be improved with powerful cleaning occur.

CAUTION:

Be sure to perform operations as specified by the instructions above, and never touch any area not specified in the instructions.

Sudden movement of the machine may cause injury.

IMPORTANT:

Important notes on this procedure

  • Before performing this operation, remove any objects to be printed on.

  • To prevent the print heads from drying out, finish this procedure in 10 minutes or less. A warning beep sounds after 10 minutes.

  • Never use any implements other than the included cleaning sticks. Cotton swabs or other lint-producing items may damage the print heads.

  • Promptly dispose of cleaning sticks after using them once. Reusing cleaning sticks immediately or after time has passed will have a negative effect on the print heads.

  • 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).

  • Stroke the sponges very gently, applying as little pressure as possible. Never rub, scrape, or crush them.

If a warning beep sounds during cleaning
  • A warning beep sounds 10 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.
