If it is not stored correctly, you may not be able to print properly the next time it is used.
❏ Store the printer after confirming that the print head has been capped (the print head is positioned at the far right). If the print head is left uncapped for a long time, the print quality may decline. ❏ If you do not print for a long time, the print head nozzles may become dried out and clogged. Turn the printer on at least once every four weeks to prevent the print head clogging. (This is not necessary if Keeping Preparation is performed from the Settings menu.) Head Cleaning is performed automatically after the printer is turned on and started. Do not turn the printer off until Head Cleaning is complete.
Leaving the printer for too long without turning it on may result in a malfunction. If repairs are necessary, they may require a fee depending on your region. Note: ❏ If the print head is not capped, turn the printer on, and then turn it off. ❏ When Keeping Preparation is performed, capping is not executed. Store the printer in an uncapped state after performing this procedure. 25
