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.
8 Close the Top Cover.
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.
