Measures When the Printer Is Not in Use for a Prolonged Period

Empty the drain bottle.

If you know that you will not use the machine for a prolonged period, empty the drain bottle. When the main power is on, the machine periodically performs automatic maintenance in which fluid is discharged.

The drain bottle is filled when the following periods elapse. Leaving the drain bottle as-is will lead to the discharged fluid overflowing.

• Approximately 2 weeks after the message "EMPTY DRAIN BOTTLE" is displayed

  If the Discharged Fluid Disposal Message Appears

• Approximately 80 days after the drain bottle is emptied

  If the Drain Bottle Exceeds Its Capacity Limit

Switch on the sub power once every 2 weeks.

Switch on the sub power once every 2 weeks. When you turn on the power, the machine automatically performs operations such as those to keep the print heads from drying out. Leaving the machine unused for a prolonged period may damage the print heads, so be sure to switch on the power to perform these automatic operations.

Refresh the heads if a message prompting you to do so is displayed when you switch on the sub power.

Head Refreshing Method

Keep the machine at a constant temperature and humidity.

Even when the machine is not in use, keep it at a temperature of 5 to 40°C (41 to 104°F) and a humidity of 20 to 80%RH (with no condensation). Failure to do so may result in malfunction.
