Please Note: As with other types of printers regular cleaning maintenance is essential. Failing to perform regular maintenance can result in costly printer repairs. Performing cleanings at the end of each day is essential, especially for the capping station as it prevents a thin film of ink from forming which can inhibit proper capping. Using the recommended cleaning solution and cleaning swabs to perform these tasks will help maintain a healthy printer. Regular maintenance should be performed on a daily basis to ensure printer output doesn’t diminish.
