4-10
Cleaning the nozzle [NOZZLE WASH]
Perform cleaning of the nozzles in the heads to prevent them being clogged with coagulated ink.
STEPS:
1 Make sure that the printer is in LOCAL mode, and then press the [ST.MAINT] key.
If it is in REMOTE mode, press the [REMOTE] key.
2 Select [NOZZLE WASH] by pressing the [] key twice and press the [ENTER] key.
The carriage will come out of the capping station.
3 Open the right maintenance cover.
Be sure to wear the supplied goggle and gloves.
The ink contains an organic solvent. If ink settles on your skin, immediately
wash it off with water. If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes
with a lot of clean water for at least 15 minutes. In doing so, also wash the back-
side of eyelids to rinse ink away completely. Then, consult a doctor as soon as
possible.
If nozzle clogging cannot be corrected even after repeating the cleaning proce-
dure described here several times, execute the [FILL UP INK] (Refer to “If noz-
zles cannot be unclogged [FILL UP INK] (p.3-32)” ) , [DISCHARGE&WASH]
(Refer to “[DISCHARGE&WASH] (p.5-6)” ) functions. If the remedies instructed
here do not work, contact your dealer or an office of MIMAKI.
If both of the two cartridges in a set are in [INK NEAR END] or [INK END] status,
the nozzle cleaning function (ink suction) is not activated. Replace the car-
tridges that are in [INK NEAR END] or [INK END] status with ones containing a
sufficient amount of ink.
