The carriage will automatically move to the left side of the printer so that the capping unit can easily
be accessed. The front panel displays CARRIAGE MOVING — PLEASE WAIT .
CAUTION
Some types of media are prone to cockling in the area adjacent to the heaters
if left stationary for any length of time. Consequently it is good practice to feed approximately
20 cm of media through the printer before starting the cap cleaning to avoid any possible
damage to the printheads that could be caused by them touching any raised areas of the
media.
Once the carriage is out of the capping unit, the cleaning procedure must be done as quickly
as possible so as not to permanently damage the printheads. The printer issues an audio
warning beep throughout the procedure.
