Important Notes on This Procedure

Before attempting this operation, remove any media.

Cleaning requires the cleaning liquid and cleaning sticks included with the printer. Please have these items ready.

To prevent the print heads from drying out, nish this procedure in 10 minutes or less. A warning beep sounds after

10 minutes.

Never use any implement other than the included cleaning stick. Cotton swabs or other lint producing items may

damage the heads. If you use up the cleaning stick, purchase a new one from your authorized Roland DG Corp. dealer.

Use one cleaning stick per cleaning session, then discard the stick after use. Reusing cleaning sticks may reduce print-

ing quality.

Do not put the cleaning stick used for cleaning into the cleaning liquid. It will deteriorate the uid.

Never rub the nozzle surface of the print heads.

Stroke the sponges very gently, applying as little pressure as possible. Never rub, scrape, or crush them.

Do not clean the UV irradiation device. Cleaning it recklessly may damage the irradiation surface. The UV irradiation

device must be cleaned by a suitably qualied service technician.
