Warning

• Never use flammable solvents such as alcohol, benzene, or thinner. If these

substances come into contact with electrical components inside the printer, there is a

risk of fire or electrical shock.

Important

• Do not use a dry cloth to wipe inside the Top Cover. This may create a static charge,

which may attract dust and affect the printing quality.

• Do not touch the Linear Scale (a) or

Carriage Shaft (b). This may stain your

hands and damage the printer.

Cleaning the Printhead

If printing is faint, cleaning the Printhead may improve results.
Choose one of two Printhead cleaning modes ( Head Cleaning A or Head Cleaning B ), depending
on the problem to resolve.
Head Cleaning A

Use this mode if printing is faint or contains foreign substances. This method of cleaning consumes
the least amount of ink.
It takes about six minutes to complete.

Head Cleaning B

Use this mode if no ink is ejected at all, or if Head Cleaning A does not solve the problem.
It takes about seven minutes to complete.
