- Please perform [CUSTODY WASH] to clean the head nozzles and the ink discharge path when you do not use your printer for one week or more.

Otherwise, you may get ink in your eyes.
Procedure of [CUSTODY WASH]
Please see here for the procedure of [CUSTODY WASH]
Notes
Please check the following to prevent ink path clogging and to protect the nozzles.
(1)Do not turn off the main power switch 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)Please check the ink remaining level.
Ink suction works during cleaning operation.
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.
(3)Please check the waste ink remaining level in the waste ink tank.
Waste liquid may overflow during long-term storage if there is not enough remaining capacity.
Nozzle protection does not function normally when "Check waste ink" is displayed.
Please visually check the waste ink level and see the waste liquid level on the Water Ink Reset
menu and dispose the waste ink accordingly.
For information on how to reset the waste ink, please see
" If a Waste Ink Tank Confirmation Message Appears" in "Chapter 4 Maintenance"
on the Operation Manual.
