Even after maintenance, issues such as nozzle dropout and deflection remain unresolved.

  • If foreign objects on the nozzle surface are the cause, powerful maintenance with Maintenance Liquid 16 may resolve firing issues.

[Important]

When performing powerful maintenance using Maintenance Liquid 16 for the first time, please consult our engineers for the procedure in advance.

*The powerful maintenance may not resolve all firing issues.
Firing issues caused by factors other than foreign objects on the nozzle surface may not be resolve
.



[Precautions]

Please be sure to confirm in advance.


How to perform powerful maintenance
<Step 1>

Select [Head Maintenance] and clean the nozzle surface using Maintenance Liquid 16.
(1) On the LOCAL mode screen, select [MENU] > [MAINTENANCE], then press the [ENTER] key.
(2) Select [STATION MAINTENANCE] > [CARRIAGE OUT] > [HEAD MAINTENANCE], then press
    the [ENTER] key.

   allowing it to soak in.
- Amount to drop: 6ml (approx. 3 doses with the included syringe).
Please make sure to use the cloth provided in the kit.
- Do not reuse a maintenance cloth once it has been used; always use a new maintenance cloth.
 


(4) Open the maintenance cover and allow Maintenance Liquid 16 to penetrate the nozzle

     surface of the head where firing issues have occurred.

  - Press the maintenance cloth soaked with Maintenance Liquid 16 against the entire nozzle

    surface of the head for 2 to 5 minutes.

  - Do not rub the nozzle surface or press it forcefully with your fingers.

    Scratching the nozzle surface can cause firing issues.

After completion, please proceed immediately to the next step 2 without delay.

Perform a test print to confirm if the firing issue has been resolved and if there are any abnormalities
in the color of the print result.
■ If the firing issue does not recover:
   Return to Step 1 and perform nozzle surface cleaning again with a new maintenance cloth.
   If there is no improvement even after performing it three times, please contact our call center.

■ If firing issues have been resolved but there is an issue with color
    (such as being too light or mixed colors):

   Please perform cleaning and wiper nozzle cleaning using the
   maintenance liquid for daily maintenance (not suitable for Maintenance Liquid 16).
   If no improvement is observed, please contact our call center.

■ If recovery is successful and there are no color issues:
   Powerful maintenance is complete.
