Inkjet printer TS300P-1800

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.

2. Daily care

(1) Surroundings of the heads ("Cleaning the Head and the Area around It" Chapter 4 of

the Operation Manual)

• Cleaning Liquid 03 MAINTENANCE KIT (ML003-2-K1)

1Move the carriage to the left and open the

maintenance cover.

• Refer to the Step 1 to 2 of Chapter 4 “Cleaning the

Head and the Area around It” of the user’s manual to

perform the operation.

Soak the clean stick or the waste cloth in the maintenance cleaning liquid and wipe off an

accumulated ink on the side of the head and on the bottom surface of the slider.

• Never rub the nozzles.

• When possible, use the cleaning stick (SPC-0527) for cleaning around the head/ capping station/ wiper.

Using the other cotton bud may attach lint, then it may damage the machine.

• 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.

Clean the side surface of the head

(shown in deep gray) with a clean stick.

The nozzle part (Never

touch it.)

Clean with a clean stick or a waste cloth.

(2) Capping Station ("Cleaning around the wiper" Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)

The surrounding area of the cap is also liable to be stained by the dust and ink. It is recommended to clean

the head frequently using the cleaning liquid for maintenance suitable for the ink used to avoid the stains on

the head.

• Cleaning Liquid 03 MAINTENANCE KIT (ML003-2-K1)

1Move the carriage and open the

maintenance cover.

• Refer to the Step 1 to 2 of Chapter 4 “Cleaning

around the wiper” of the user’s manual to perform the

operation.

2Clean the cap.

• Dip the clean stick into the cleaning liquid for

maintenance and wipe off the cap. Wipe off so that

cleaning solution for maintenance will not remain.

(3) Wiper ("Cleaning around the wiper” Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)

On the wiper, the ink, dust and paper powder are liable to accumulate. Check the state of the wiper and if it is

stained, clean it.

• Cleaning Liquid 03 MAINTENANCE KIT (ML003-2-K1)

1Move the carriage and open the right

maintenance cover.

• Refer to the Step 1 to 2 of Chapter 4 “Cleaning the

Wiper and Cap” of the user’s manual to perform the

(4) Media press (“Cleaning the Media Press” Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)

When the cut dust of the media and other dusts accumulate between the media holder and the platen, it could

cause the risks that the transfer of the media could not be performed properly or such dusts stick to the noz-

zles and this could interfere the proper printings. You are recommended to clean it frequently.

(5) Media sensor ("Cleaning the Media Sensor" Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)

The media sensors are located on the platen in the backside and the bottom surface of the head.

If the dusts and ink accumulate on the sensor, it could cause false detection of the media or the register mark.

Wipe off the sensors with soft cloth or clean sticks.

• For the cleaning of the media sensors, never use the solvent.

• When the sensor is heavily stained, wipe off with a cloth soaked in the waterdiluted neutral

detergent.

3. Periodically care (Once a week)

Users are advised to perform the maintenance works described below once a week so that the printer will

keep its high performance and accuracy over an extended period of its life.

(1) Platen (“Cleaning the Platen” Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)

Platen is a place where dusts, paper powder, and ink

are liable to accumulate. It is therefore suggested to

clean it frequently. Wipe out the platen surface and the

platen cover with a soft blush or cloth. The grooves for

media holder and for cutting the paper (cutter line) are

the place where the dusts are especially liable to accu-

mulate. Clean them thoroughly.

(2) Exterior (“Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces” Chapter 4, Operation Manual)

Depending on the using environment, the dusts or

sand powder could stick to the exterior of the main

unit. To avoid the entry of the dusts into the moving

part of the head, wipe them off with soft cloth dipped

into water and squeezed tightly.

(3) Waste ink tank (“If a Waste Ink Tank Confirmation Message Appears” Chapter 4 of

the Operation Manual)

Check whether the waste ink tank is full or not. Take

care so that the waste ink never overflows the tank.

(4) Ink Discharge Passage (“Washing the Ink Discharge Passage” Chapter 4 of the Oper-

ation Manual)

Wash the ink discharge passage (DISWAY WASH) regularly(about once a week) to prevent the head nozzles

from clogging due to ink coagulation inside the passage.

1Select “MAINTENANCE” menu “STATION” “DISWAY WASH”.

• Refer to the Step 1 to 3 of Chapter 4 “Washing the Ink Discharge Passage” of the user’s manual to

perform the operation.

• The carriage will move onto the platen.

2Press key.

• Dry suction operation is performed repeatedly until the washing work is completed.

3Fill up the cap with cleaning solution for

maintenance.

• If the cleaning solution cartridge is usable,

maintenance solution is automatically filled. If there is

not enough maintenance solution, suck maintenance

solution into a dropper and fill up the cap with it.

4Press the key.

• Before washing the ink discharge passage, make sure that the maintenance washing liquid is set. If

the maintenance washing liquid is not set, washing operation will not be conducted and the passage

could be clogged.

• If the cleaning solution cartridge is not usable,

suck maintenance solution into a dropper and fill

up the cap with it. Fill up the cap with

maintenance solution on the verge of overflow

from the cap.
