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.
STEPS:
1. At the LOCAL state, press the
[FUNCTION] key 4 times.
2. Press the [ENTER] key.
3. Use up/down keys to select
[Discharge].
4. Press the [ENTER] key.
5. Open the station cover.
6. Turn the all valves to [DCG].
7. Close the station cover.
8. Press the [ENTER] key.

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.

•Do not move the carriage out of the capping station by hand. Use the
appropriate operation key to move the carriage.
The examples of defective printing
These following examples indicate improper head (nozzle) firing by dust, which effect
