6. Maintenance

6-1-4. Waste Ink Disposal

Use a polyethylene tank for additional Waste Ink Tank. The amount of the Waste Ink in the White Ink side (White Ink plus Maintenance Solution) is huge rather than the one in the Color Ink side. Confirm in advance the amount of the Waste Ink when you do the maintenance. Deal with care because it is heavy.

(1)Prepare a new polyethylene tank.

(2)Pull off the Waste Ink Tube carefully and insert it to the new Waste Ink Tank.

(3)Remove the full Waste Ink Tank and cap tightly and carefully.

(4)Install the new Waste Ink Tank in a proper position.

<Note>

Dispose the used Waste Ink in accordance with your local regulations. Or make contact to your dealer.

6-1-5. Replacing the Platen Sheet

The Platen Sheet gets dirty in operation. Please replace the Platen Sheet to avoid making smudges on a T-shirt. To help align a T-shirt, you can print a grid on the Platen Sheet. It is in [ All Program ] > [ Brother GT-782 Tools ] > [ Useful Tools ]. Grid14x16.arp is for the standard Platen 14x16. (See "3-3-5. Opening the Useful Tools".)

(1)Press the Platen Button to eject the Platen.

(2)Remove the Platen Sheet and the adhesive tape from the Platen.

(3)Clean the surfaces of the Platen using a soft cloth damped with mild detergent, and then wipe it using a soft and dry cloth.

(4)Make sure the surface of the Platen is completely dry, and then put the new Platen Sheet on the Platen. It is easier if you peel off the release-coated paper little by little as you put the new Platen Sheet.

<Note>

Put the Platen Sheet straight against the Platen without making creases.

(5) Press the Platen Button to install the Platen and check it is flat.
