<Note>
z As for GT-381 and GT-361, do not leave the White ink inside the printer. White pigment precipitates and may cause
serious damage to your printer. Before you start your job, shake the cartridges for 30 seconds to 1 minutes and execute
[Daily Cleaning White] to flush the white-less White Ink. Clean the tubes once a week with Maintenance Solution.
Follow the steps of "5-2-1. Daily Cleaning White for replacing dull White Ink" and “5-2-2. White Tube Cleaning ".
z Do not turn off your printer when it is operating. It may cause serious damage to your printer. If you turn off your printer
accidentally during the operation, immediately restart it, and then turn it off correctly following the steps described in this
section. If the power supply stops in printing by accident and will not recover soon, then turn OFF the printer and apply
the Print Head Protection Films packed in the Print Head to cover the nozzles of the Print Heads so that the Films
should protect the nozzles from drying. Wash the surface of the Print Head Protection Films with either the
Maintenance Solution or Wash Liquid to protect the Print Head Nozzles from dust. After the power supply is available,
remove the Print Head Protection Films and turn ON the printer for initialization and do Head Cleaning.

z If the printer is unused for a long time we recommend turning on your printer once a week and press the Head Cleaning
Button to protect the Print Heads and Maintenance Unit from drying and clogging. This ensures the ink is kept free
flowing. As for White Print Heads, do the powerful cleaning with maintenance solution.
If you are planning not to use your printer for more than two weeks, follow “6-2-5. Required Maintenance for the Long
Storage" in the Instruction Manual to prevent ink clogging.
