Manual Cleaning Method

If the message "TIME FOR MAINTENANCE" is displayed or if dot drop-out or ink drip issues that cannot be improved with powerful cleaning occur, perform manual cleaning.

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 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.
Use only the included cleaning liquid.
Use one cleaning stick per cleaning session, and then discard the stick after use. 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 Roland DG Corporation dealer or visit our website (http://www.rolanddg.com/).

If a warning beep sounds during cleaning

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