Regular maintenance guide
In addition to the automatic maintenance tasks that are performed when the printer is switched on, the
printer also requires regular inspection and maintenance. The table below lists all regular inspection and
maintenance procedures. For details on each procedure, see the page referenced.
WARNING! Never leave the printer off for more than four weeks. Leaving your printer off for
more than four weeks can cause permanent damage that cannot be repaired. In all other cases
