Keeping the Best Printing Results

zWhen unplugging the power cord

When unplugging the power cord, be sure to press [ON/OFF] first. When you press [ON/OFF], the Print Head is protected by the cap to prevent the ink from drying. When unplugging the power cord, be sure to unplug it after turning OFF the machine with [ON/OFF].

zWhen not using the machine for a long time

When not using the machine for a long time, print or copy in both black & white and in color, or perform Print Head cleaning, about once a month to prevent degradation of the Print Head.

Numerous nozzles are installed in the Print Head for high-precision printing. Just as the uncapped tip of a ballpoint pen or marker becomes dry and unusable if not used for a long period of time, the Print Head nozzles become blocked by dried ink. Periodically printing or cleaning the Print Head can prevent this blockage.

Note

If the printed area is traced with a highlight pen or paint-stick or stained with water or sweat, ink may blur depending on the paper.
