[Important]
Please check the following to prevent ink path clogging and to protect the nozzles.
(1) Please keep the main power switch on during long-term storage.
The nozzle clogging prevention function works automatically to protect the printhead nozzles.
Leaving the main power turned off for a long period of time may cause the nozzles to be clogged.
(2) Check the ink remaining level.
The Maintenance solution suction works during cleaning operation of ink discharge path.
During ink suction, nozzle wash does not start if "INK END" or "INK NEAR END" is detected.
We recommend setting an ink bottle with sufficient remaining amount,
as ink is consumed during regular maintenance while the printer is not in use.
Please also refer to these videos for reference.
