General Maintenance
Even if the printer will not be used for a prolonged period, do not turn it off.
When using again, please observe the following:
The print-head nozzles can become dried up or clogged. You should periodically
use the printer in order to avoid such damage. The printer should be turned on at
least once a week for a few minutes.
If you do not use the printer for a long time, always check first to see if the nozzles
are clear.
If necessary clean the print heads by following the procedure on "Cleaning the
print head" and then start the printing.
If you do not use the printer for a long time, imperfections may then develop in
the printing even if multiple print head cleanings are carried out. If this happens,
shut down the printer for 30 minutes. Turn on the printer again and run through
print head cleaning. Then try printing a marker card.
Cleaning the Print Head The cleaning of the print head can be done directly from the ClearTools software.
Please take the following steps:
1. Select "Tools" from the menu pull-down, and then click on "Options".
2. In the Options window, click on the "ClearMark" folder and then on
"Cleaning".
IMPORTANT For printer maintenance, complete by using the ClearTools software
only. Do not use the "Maintenance" menu on the printer display.
