Fill up the cap with maintenance liquid on the verge of overflow from the cap. • If the maintenance liquid cartridge is usable, suck maintenance liquid into a dropper and fill up the cap with it. Fill up the cap with maintenance liquid on the verge of overflow from the cap. • Do not turn off the main power supply. Turning off the main power supply will disable the auto- matic maintenance function (including nozzle clogging prevention function and ink discharge channel cleaning function). This increases the risk of ejection failures (such as nozzle clogging or deflection). • Do not leave media loaded on the platen. This may leave irregularities or ripples in the media.
