Notes When Not Using the Printer • A service engineer must do pre- and post-maintenance when the printer is not used for over 6 weeks. Pre- and post-maintenance will be provided for a fee. During pre-maintenance, the ink in the ink tubes is removed, and the inside of the tubes is washed using the cleaning fluid in the cleaning cartridge, to prepare for long-term storage. When restarting use of the printer, recharge the printer with ink. Moreover, depending on the environment and length of time stored, repairs may be required during post-maintenance even if pre- maintenance is done. If repairs are necessary, they will be done for a fee. Contact qualified service personnel.
• Depending on the type of ink, you may need to remove and shake the ink cartridges installed in the machine if they have not been used for a long period of time. For more information, refer to "Shaking the Ink Cartridges" on page 233 .
