Maintaining
When Not Using for a Long Period of Time
If the printer will not be used for a long time, turn its power off, disconnect the USB cable, and then unplug the
power cable from the wall outlet.
Be careful of the following:
z
The nozzles of the print-heads may dry out and become clogged. To prevent this, periodically print some-
thing. Even if you do not print anything, turn the printer on for a few minutes once a month.
z
If you do not use the printer for a long period of time, always check if the nozzles are clogged by printing
a nozzle check test pattern. Clean the print-heads as necessary, and then begin printing.
z
If you do not use the printer at least for 8 hours, printing may not be performed normally even if head clean-
ing is performed multiple times. If this happens, turn the power off and leave the printer alone for a while.
Then, turn the power on again and perform the nozzle check and head cleaning.
z
After head cleaning is performed multiple times, clogged ink will dissolve over time, and normal printing may become possible.
z
If there is no improvement after performing the steps above, contact sales or service representative.
