To Ensure Safe Use
Maintenance
To ensure years of precise performance, maintain the machine periodically based on frequency of use.
Read the maintenance precautions thoroughly before maintaining this product.
5
1. Maintenance Precautions
1. Maintenance Precautions
• This machine includes parts that must be replaced periodically. We therefore recommend taking
out a maintenance contract. Carry out maintenance periodically and replace consumable items
to prevent quality defects and accidents.
• Clean periodically. Debris and dust will accumulate on electrical components when the machine
is used for extended periods. There is a risk of failure, electric shock, or fire due to current
leakage.
• Do not clean by blowing—e.g., avoid using air blowers. Doing so may lead to failure, electric
shock, or fire involving the machine if airborne debris or dust gets inside electrical components.
Wipe using a soft cloth soaked in diluted neutral detergent and thoroughly wrung out. A vacuum
cleaner may also be used for cleaning.
• Do not allow liquids to get inside the machine. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock,
or fire.
• The UV-LED unit becomes extremely hot. Be careful not to touch the LED after it has been
turned off until it has sufficiently cooled.
• For heavy soiling, wipe using a soft cloth soaked in diluted neutral detergent and thoroughly
wrung out.
• Pay close attention to ventilation and be sure to wear safety glasses, gloves, and a mask when
handling ink, maintenance liquid, waste ink, or other solutions used with the machine. Leaking
ink may adhere to the skin or get into the eyes or mouth.
• Never touch the print head nozzle surface. Do not allow water or alcohol to come into contact
with the print nozzle surface. This will increase the risk of machine failure or ejection failures
(e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
• Do not use cotton swabs to clean around the head or carriage. Fibers from cotton swabs may
adhere to the head nozzle surface and lead to ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or
deflection).
• Do not splash ink or maintenance liquid on the covers. Exposure to splashing ink or
maintenance liquid may damage or deform the cover.
• Do not use benzine, thinner, or any chemical agent containing abrasives. Use of these
chemicals may result in damage to or deformation of parts.
• Do not move the carriage by hand. To move the carriage, use the carriage out function on the
menu.

2. Maintenance Methods
Ink Maintenance
If ink constituents are sedimented, the ink density may become uneven. We recommend shaking the Ink
bottle periodically to keep printing consistent.
UV ink: once a month.
White ink: once a day.
1 Shake the Ink bottle to the left and right slowly at least 20 times.
• Tighten the ink bottle lid securely, then shake the bottle slowly from left to right to ensure that the
ink moves inside, holding the ink bottle lid with a paper towel.
• Shake slowly. If the bottle is shaken too violently, ink may leak out or the air mixed in the
ink may cause nozzle clogging.
• If the ink bottle is partially used, tilt it slowly until the ink bottle is upright.
Wiper Cleaning
The wiper wipes off ink adhering to the print head nozzle surface. Continuing to use the dirty wiper may
cause the wiper to which dried ink and dust are attached to rub against the nozzle surface, leading to printing
defects (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
• Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These
fragments will increase the risk of ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).
1 On the LOCAL mode screen, select [MENU] > [Maintenance], then press the [ENTER] key.
• The Maintenance menu is displayed.
2 Select [Station] > [Carriage Out] > [Station Maint.], then press the [ENTER] key.
• The carriage moves over the platen.

2. Maintenance Methods
Wiper cleaner
• Only clean the front side of the wiper cleaner. There is no need to clean the backside.
• After cleaning is completed, check to confirm that the wiper cleaner is not facing up.
OK No good
• Soak up ink in the waste ink holder with a paper towel once a week. Doing so may result
in leaking ink.
• Do not remove the absorbent material in the absorbent material case. Doing so may result
in leaking ink.
9 Once cleaning is complete, close the cover, then press the [ENTER] key.
• Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These
fragments will increase the risk of ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).

• The carriage moves over the platen.
5 Check to confirm that the cap slider is not tilted once cleaning is complete.
• If the cap slider is tilted, move the slider block to the left or right to correct the tilt.
NCU Cleaning
The NCU uses a sensor to monitor the ink droplets ejected from the print head nozzles. Continuing to use
the dirty NCU may prevent the nozzle check function from operating correctly.
• Be careful to avoid leaving fragments from the cleaning stick behind when cleaning. These
fragments will increase the risk of ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or deflection).

• Turn off the main power supply and unplug the power cable before carrying out maintenance.
• Do not allow liquids to get inside the machine. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock,
or fire.
Continuing to use the dirty platen will prevent proper feeding of the media. It will also cause dried ink and
attached dust to rub against the head nozzle surface and lead to ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or
deflection).

2. Maintenance Methods
Continuing to use the dirty platen will prevent proper feeding of the media. It will also cause dried ink and
attached dust to rub against the head nozzle surface and lead to ejection failures (e.g., nozzle clogging or

• The grooves in which the media holder slides and the media is cut are susceptible to dust
accumulation. Remove any debris carefully.
• For heavy soiling, wipe using a soft cloth soaked in diluted neutral detergent and thoroughly
wrung out.
• Do not allow liquids to get inside the machine. Otherwise there is a risk of failure, electric shock,
or fire.
• For heavy soiling, wipe using a soft cloth soaked in diluted neutral detergent and thoroughly

9 Press to enter the leaving time. (Supported from firmware version 3.2 onward)
• The recommended leaving time is 1 minute.

2. Maintenance Methods
• Do not turn off the main power supply. Turning off the main power supply will disable the
automatic maintenance function (including nozzle clogging prevention function and waste ink
draining channel cleaning function). This will increase the risk of print defects (e.g., nozzle
clogging, deflection).
• Do not leave media loaded on the platen. This may leave irregularities or ripples in the media.
• When the machine is not in use, raise the clamp lever to separate the pinch rollers from the grit
rollers. Leaving the pinch rollers in the lowered position for an extended period of time may
cause the pinch rollers to become deformed. Deformation of the pinch rollers may prevent the
media from being fed correctly.
• Perform the following if the "Check Waste Ink Tank" message appears on the display.
