Chapter 4 Maintenance 4-4 Routine Maintenance Ink maintenance Shake the ink regularly before use. Failure to shake the ink regularly may result in ink sedimentation and reduced print quality. How often to shake the ink varies depending on the type and color. Ink should be shaken as often as described below. For instructions on shaking ink, see "Inserting Ink Cartridges." White ink:40 times • After the machine has been on for 24 hours • If "Shake white cartridge" is displayed as a warning message after the machine is turned on Other colors:20 times • Once a week, always before work Cleaning the wiper and cap Using a dirty wiper with dried ink or dust on it may cause the wiper to rub against the nozzle surface or cause ink suction problems that lead to ejection failure (such as nozzle clogging or deflection). 1 With the screen in local mode, select [MENU] > [MAINTENANCE], and then press the [ENTER] key. • The Maintenance menu is displayed. 2 Select [STATION MAINT.] > [CARRIAGE OUT] > [STATION MAINT.], and then press the [ENTER] key. • The carriage moves over the platen. 3 Remove the wiper. • Pull out the wiper by holding the lugs at both ends. 4 Clean the wiper and bracket. • Wipe off any adhering ink or dust using a cleaning stick or tweezers moistened with maintenance liquid. Wipe off the maintenance liquid. Make sure none remains. 5 Clean the wiper slider. • Use a cleaning stick moistened with maintenance liquid to wipe off any adhering ink or dust. Wipe off the maintenance liquid. Make sure none remains. • White ink should be shaken 100 times after more than 3 days. • Do not remove the ink cartridge when the dis- play shows "CIRCULATION" or the LED is flashing. • Wiper: Wipes off ink adhering to the print head nozzle surface. • Cap: Prevents the print head nozzle surface from drying out. • Replace wipers with a new one if they become deformed, or if adhering ink cannot be wiped away. Also replace the wiper if a warning is dis- played ( P.4-16 [Replacing wipers]). • Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These fragments will increase the risk of ejection fail- ures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection). • When using tweezers, be careful not to dam- age the wiper with them. ＞ Ｐ Ｂ Ｔ ＜ Carriage Lugs Wiper Bracket Wiper slider
