Be sure to conduct maintenance works for the machine when necessary or periodically so

as to use the device for a long time while keeping its plotting accuracy.

When the machine is left unused for a long period of time

•Be sure to turn off the power of machine.

•Remove the work which setting on the table.

Precautions during cleaning

•Never disassemble the machine. Disassembling the machine can result in

electric shock hazards and breakage of the machine.

•To prevent electric shock hazard and damage to the machine, do not allow

moisture to get inside.

•Turn off power and detach power cable before doing any maintenance.

•Benzene, thinner and chemical agents containing abrasives.

Such materials can deteriorate or deform the surface of the cover.

•Do not apply lubricating oil or the like inside the machine. Such materials

can cause the printer mechanism to fail.

Washing ink from the slider surface

The ink may gel and collect under the slider after a long use. The ink droplets may grow in

size and smear the work as a result. To prevent this problem, wet the supplied cotton swab

in the cleaning liquid (A29) and use it to remove the ink from under the head in regular

intervals.

•Do not use the cotton swab on the head nozzles. The brush may damage

the nozzles and cause poor ink delivery.

Cleaning Tools :

• Cleaning liquid (A29)

• Cotton swabs

Routine maintenance

Maintenance for frame components

If the frame components of the machine have become dirty, wipe off frame with soft cloth

using water or neutral detergent diluted with water, squeeze it and wipe the frame compo-

nents clean. Clean the table also as dust may cause ink fly-bend or dropping.

Cleaning Tools :

• Neutral detergent

• Soft cloth (quantity)

Filling of discharge liquid at the time of starting works

If the discharge liquid in this machine has used in the long period, it may cause the de-

crease in the print head life. In order to prevent the shortening of the life of the head for

discharge liquid, the discharge liquid contained is replaced by cleaning liquid when it is not

used for an extended period of time. At the time of starting works, the cleaning liquid filled

in the head for discharge liquid is to be drained and the discharge liquid is filled in.

Filling of the cleaning liquid at the end of the works

If you leave the head for discharge liquid with discharge liquid filled in for a long time, the

life of the head for discharge liquid will be shortened because the discharge liquid melts the

water-shedding part. To prevent the reduction of its life, when it is not used for an extended

period of time, drain the discharge liquid and fill in the cleaning liquid.

STEPS:

1. At the LOCAL state, press the

[FUNCTION] key 4 times.
