6. Initial Ink Induction Procedure

6-2. Initial Cleaning of the Cleaning Solution Supply Tubes

  1. Turn on the printer power supply.
    When the power is turned on, the printer begins a self-test operation (the print head carriage and the feed rollers move). When the self test has been completed, wait until the main menu is displayed on the LCD.
    Since ink has not yet been supplied to the printer, a “No Ink” alarm will sound after several minutes have elapsed. This alarm does not indicate a malfunction, and no action is required.

  2. Move the print head carriage to the cleaning position.

    1. From the main menu, select [Cleaning Tool] and then press the ENTER key.
    2. From the submenu, select [Clean Post] and then press the ENTER key.

    The print head carriage will move to the cleaning position and then stop.

  3. Pour approximately 150 cc of cleaning solution into the solution tank.
  4. Set the 3-way valve for the solution tank to the supply position.

  5. Set the 3-way valve for each ink tank to the cleaning position.

  1. Feed the cleaning solution through the inlet tubes.

    1. Position the end of each inlet tube so that it faces the waste liquid slot underneath.
    2. Press the Solution button at the cleaning position to feed the cleaning solution through the inlet tubes.
    3. Hold down the Solution button until the cleaning solution passes through the tubes.

    caution
    First of all, remove one of the waste ink tanks mounted in the printer, and then discard the cleaning solution from the solution tank into the waste ink tank.

  2. Feed out any cleaning solution remaining in the inlet tubes.
    Press the Solution button once again to feed out any cleaning solution remaining in the inlet tubes.
    Continue holding down the button until all the fluid has been removed from the tubes.
