Keeping the Printer
When storing the printer, place it on a horizontal
surface with the ink cartridges installed in the
printer.
If you do not used the printer
for a long time
❏ When not using the printer for a long period
(one week or more), perform head cleaning
once a week. If head cleaning is not
performed, the print head may get clogged.
Doing so will preserve print quality.
❏ Do not leave the printer without ink
cartridges; otherwise, the ink will dry out and
the printer is not able to print properly. Even
if you do not use the printer, leave all of the
ink cartridges in the slots.
❏ Do not leave the paper in the printer for a long
period of time; otherwise, the roller for
securing the paper may leave a mark on the
surface of the paper.
Protecting the print head
This printer has a capping function that
automatically puts a cap on the print head to keep
it away from drying.
If the print head is left uncapped, the print quality
may decline. When you are not using the printer,
make sure the print head is located on the far
right so that it is capped.
See “Capping function” on page 68
