Check if the trouble the user claims recurs with the returned printer.
This section explains the basic procedure for troubleshooting problems on the printer
quickly and efficiently.  If the F/W was not the latest, with the user's agreement, update the F/W to the
latest one and check if the trouble recurs.
When carrying out the troubleshooting procedures, take a flexible measure following
your sales company's policy and considering the troubling situation.
2.1.1.3 Check for the counter values/history
2.1.1 Preliminary Check Download NVRAM and check the following with NVRAM Viewer. (For the check
method, see p211.)
Make sure to verify or perform the following basic items whenever servicing the
printer.  Counter history of the periodic replacement parts. (if any part's life is near.)
 Printer's operating history (if any cause for the trouble exists)
2.1.1.1 Check for the usage environment
 Error history (the frequency/history of errors related with the trouble)
Check the user's usage environment.
 Temperature/humidity of the installation site
(For the guaranteed environment, See Chapter 1 “PRODUCT

2.2 Remedies for Maintenance Requests

This section describes the remedies for maintenance requests. Maintenance requests do not effect the printer’s operation; therefore, you can continue the current printing. When a
maintenance request error occurs, the printer displays on the LCD a hexadecimal code of “NNNN” which correspond to the bit numbers assigned to error statuses as shown in the
table below.

5.2 Storing the Printer

When storing the printer, make sure to leave the ink cartridges installed and place it on
a horizontal surface, and also inform the user on the following cautions.
 When not using the printer for a long time
 Turn on the printer at least once a week to let it clean the nozzles and prevent
nozzle clogging.
 Remove the media.
 Check that the PRINT HEAD is capped properly.
 Close all the covers.
 When storing the printer for a long time, discharge ink and change cleaning
liquid. (See “4.12.2 Tube Inner Cleaning (p249)”.) Also, replace the White
Ink cartridge with a cleaning cartridge if the printer is left unused for two
weeks or more, and replace all the ink cartridges with cleaning cartridges if it
is left unused for one month or more.
 Before using the printer again
Make sure to print a nozzle check pattern and check for clogging of the PRINT HEAD.
If any clogging can be seen, carry out a cleaning.

C H E C K After performing the cleaning a few times, try turning off the
P O IN T printer and leaving it overnight or longer, so that the ink may
dissolve and the clogging might be improved.

 When lifting the printer, work in a posture that does not
damage your body.
 To prevent the PRINT HEAD from drying or ink leakage, keep
the ink cartridges installed.
 Not to damage printer, do not touch any parts other than those
you have to touch.
