3. Daily Care

3.1 Cleaning the Print Cartridge

Poor quality prints can occur due to blocked ink emission holes in the nozzle. Leaving the imprinter unused for long periods can also cause emission holes to become blocked. When the emission holes are blocked, clean the nozzle surface of the print cartridge.

ATTENTION

For cleaning, use a dry lint-free cloth (DO NOT use

 

tissue), and gently wipe any dirt and stains off the

 

nozzle’s surface.

1.Turn off the Scanner.

2.Remove the Print Cartridge.

(Refer to "2.6 Replacing the Print Cartridge")

When cleaning, be careful not to touch the

 

nozzle plate or the contact parts of the

 

cartridge directly by hand.

3.Gently wipe any dirt and stains off the nozzle surface.

4.Make sure that all dirt and stains are removed, before installing the Print Cartridge.

(Refer to “2.6 Replacing the Print Cartridge”)

ATTENTION

When installing or replacing the print

 

cartridge, be careful not to insert it out of

 

place.

3.2 Cleaning the Imprinter

As the fi-590PRF prints the number on a document before reading operation, ink can spatter over the glass and paper path of the Upper transport unit, and vicinity of the print cartridge holder.

We recommend you to clean the scanner after 5000 sheets scanning to avoid smudge on the scanned image. Note that the required cleaning cycle may vary depending upon document type to be scanned.

More frequent cleaning may be required when printing a document on which ink does not easily get dry.

 

 

When you do the cleaning, turn off the

 

 

scanner power, and unplug the power cable

 

CAUTION

from the outlet.

 

 

 

 

 

If cleaning is done with power turned on, it

 

 

 

 

may cause electric shock or imprinter failure.
