- Do not allow the machine to run out of ink or cleaning liquid.
The machine discharges ink and cleaning liquid during the automatic maintenance that is performed periodically. Set in the machine ink and cleaning liquid pouches having sufficient remaining ink and cleaning liquid. The machine cannot perform automatic maintenance if it has run out of ink or cleaning liquid.
- Switch on the sub power once a month.
Switch on the sub power once a month. 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.
- Keep the machine at a constant temperature and relative 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 relative humidity of 20 to 80% (with no condensation). Temperatures that are too high may degrade the ink and cause malfunctions. Temperatures that are too low may cause the ink to freeze and damage the print heads.
