Requests for Care and Maintenance
This machine is a precision machine equipped with extremely fine mechanisms. Especially, the nozzle sur-
face of the heads from which the ink is discharged is affected even by a slightest attachment of dust or paper
powder and the proper printing results could not be obtained. With a view to using this machine in a better
condition, we would like to recommend performing the following care and maintenance on daily basis.

(1) Surroundings of the heads ("Cleaning the Head and the Area around It" Chapter 4 of
the Operation Manual)
1Move the carriage to the left and open the left
maintenance cover.
• Refer to the Step 1 to 5 of Chapter 4 “Cleaning the Head
and the Area around It” of the user’s manual to perform
the operation.
2Clean the head and the surrounding
area.
• Gelled ink and dust could stick under the slider
and the surroundings of the head.
• Scrape them off with clean stick etc. In this case,
never rub the nozzle portion of the head.
• When possible, use the cleaning stick (SPC-0527) for cleaning around the head/ capping station/ wiper.
Using the other cotton bud may attach lint, then it may damage the machine.
• Be sure to perform maintenance for the ink cap and the wiper of capping station every day. If you leave it
dirty, dirt may adhere to the nozzle surface, or, dust and dry ink may be rubbed against the nozzle. It may
cause discharge defect.
• Clean the bottom of carriage every day so that it will not get dirt from inks or dusts. If you leave it dirty, dust
and dry ink may be rubbed against the nozzle at wiping operation when performing head cleaning.
• When you clean the carriage bottom surface, fully be careful not to rub the nozzle surface.
• The heads and their surroundings are the parts most liable to be tainted in this machine and if
tainted, it could cause adverse effects to the functions of the machine and the results of the
printings. Moreover, as the head itself uses very fine mechanisms, sufficient precautions are
required for the care and maintenances.

(5) Media press (“Cleaning the Media Press” Chapter
4 of the Operation Manual)
When the cut dust of the media and other dusts accumulate
between the media holder and the platen, it could cause the
risks that the transfer of the media could not be performed prop-
erly or such dusts stick to the nozzles and this could interfere the
proper printings. You are recommended to clean it frequently.
(6) Media sensor ("Cleaning the Media Sensor" Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)
The media sensors are located on the platen (for two positions) in the backside and the bottom surface of the
head.
If the dusts and ink accumulate on the sensor, it could cause false detection of the media or the register mark.

3. Periodically care (Once a week)
Users are advised to perform the maintenance works described below once a week so that the printer will
keep its high performance and accuracy over an extended period of its life.
(1) Platen (“Cleaning the Platen” Chapter 4 of the Operation Manual)
Continuing to use the media while it is dirty may cause
media to be fed incorrectly, or rubbing dirt or solid ink
onto the head nozzle surface, resulting in discharge fail-
ure (nozzle clogging, deflection, etc.).
(2) Exterior (“Cleaning the Exterior Surfaces” Chapter 4, Operation Manual)
Depending on the using environment, the dusts or sand
powder could stick to the exterior of the main unit. To
avoid the entry of the dusts into the moving part of the
head, wipe them off with soft cloth dipped into water and
squeezed tightly.
• Turn off the main power and unplug the power cable before maintenance.
• Do not allow liquids to get inside the product.Ingress of liquids into the product may lead to failure,
electric shock, or fire.
• When the platen is stained with ink, wipe it off with a paper towel containing a small amount of
cleaning solution for maintenance.
• Before cleaning the platen, make sure that the platen heater has cooled adequately.
• When cleaning the platen, do not apply strong force to the platen or wipe it with a hard cloth.
Doing so may damage or deform the platen, causing poor printed image. If the deformed platen is
