• If the carriage is not covered by the ink cap for a long period of
time, the nozzle face of the head may get dry and clogged,
resulting in white lines being left in the printed image.
• The buzzer sounds periodically while the carriage is out of the
capping station. The buzzer sounds at shorter interval when the
print heater temperature is high.
• Perform this if discharging defect such as nozzle clogging (slight touching of ink or nozzle missing)
cannot be improved even if you performed head cleaning ( P.2-22) and nozzle washing ( P.4-

• When you usually use photographic fixer, do not leave Wiper for CR in a room filled with vapor
of photographic fixer. If you wash the nozzle surface with Wiper for CR left in a room filled with
vapor of photographic fixer, ink adhering to the head hardens and it may cause image quality
defect that cannot be improved even if you perform head cleaning many times and may cause
nozzle clogging.
• Besides photographic fixer, if you use Wiper for CR left in an environment where acidic vapor
(acetic acid, muriatic acid, etc.) is generated, the same phenomenon occurs.
