ton. This special cleaning also takes about two minutes.

Be careful not to unplug the printer too quickly. As with the other extended cleaning cycle, there’s a quiet period during which solvent is allowed to soak into the print head and other parts.

Wait for the POWER light to go out. That’s your signal the printer is ready to be stored or transported.

Summary of Cleaning Cycles

Here’s a brief summary of the cleaning cycles:

•The printer automatically cleans itself when it is turned on and periodically during operation.

•If you notice a slight deterioration in print quality, push the ON LINE button to make the printer go off-line. Then press the CLEANING button for a few moments. To resume print- ing, press the ON LINE button again.

•For a more extensive cleaning, wait for the printing to stop, then turn the printer off. Turn it back on again while pressing the CLEANING button.

•When the printer won’t be used for an extended period, or is to be stored or transported, clear the printing parts of ink by turning the printer off while holding down the CLEANING button. Let the POWER indicator go out before unplugging the printer.

Troubleshooting Guide

The SQ-2000 is often able to tell when something goes wrong, such as when paper has jammed or someone forgot to replace the ink cartridge. It does that through special sensing devices.

When such a problem occurs, you may be alerted by a warning light or buzzer. Or the printer just won’t operate.

The following troubleshooting guide provides some of the more common problems that may arise during normal operation. To save time (and perhaps some embarrassment), be sure to refer to it before you call in service personnel.
