Do not bend or tug the waste ink tube. Ink could spill inside or around the printer.
The following components require regular maintenance at recommended intervals or
according to the frequency with which the printer is used. Failure to perform regular
maintenance could result in loss of print quality. In the absence of the appropriate
maintenance, continued use could damage the print head.
See “Regular Maintenance” on page 121.
The print head may not be capped (the print head may not return to the right side) if the
printer is turned off when the media is jammed or an error has occurred. Capping is a
function for automatically covering the print head with a cap (lid) to prevent the print
head from drying out. In this case, turn on the power and wait until capping is performed
automatically.
When the power is on, do not remove the power plug or cut the power at the breaker.
The print head may not be capped properly. In this case, turn on the power and wait
until capping is performed automatically.
The print head is automatically cleaned at a fixed interval after printing to keep the
nozzle from clogging.
Be sure that the waste ink bottle is installed whenever the printer is on.
As well as being expended during printing, ink is used during head cleaning and other
maintenance required to keep the print head in working order.
