Requests for Care and Maintenance

This machine is a precision machine equipped with extremely fine mechanisms. Especially, the nozzle sur-

face of the heads from which the ink is discharged is affected even by a slightest attachment of dust or paper

powder and the proper printing results could not be obtained. With a view to using this machine in a better

condition, we would like to recommend performing the following care and maintenance on daily basis.

• Be sure to perform maintenance for the ink cap and the wiper of capping station every day. If you leave it

dirty, dirt may adhere to the nozzle surface, or, dust and dry ink may be rubbed against the nozzle. It may

cause discharge defect.

• Clean the bottom of carriage every day so that it will not get dirt from inks or dusts. If you leave it dirty, dust

and dry ink may be rubbed against the nozzle at wiping operation when performing head cleaning.

• When you clean the carriage bottom surface, fully be careful not to rub the nozzle surface.

• The heads and their surroundings are the parts most liable to be tainted in this machine and if

tainted, it could cause adverse effects to the functions of the machine and the results of the printings.

Moreover, as the head itself uses very fine mechanisms, sufficient precautions are required for the

care and maintenances.
