    Confirmation after replace the Print Head

    In this printer, the cap of the ink system follows the inclination of the Print Head. However, if hardened ink is accumulated on the cap, capping may not be done properly and printing failure may result. After the adjustment is complete, make sure to perform the operation check of the cap following the procedure below.

    1. Push the cap of the ink system (A) to the rear and confirm the cap (B) surely returns to the original position.
    2. Push the cap of the Cap Unit to the home position and confirm the cap surely returns to the original position.

    3. Repeat Step 1 to Step 2 a few times. If the action of the cap is too slow or awkward, or does not return to the original position, replace the ink system with a new one.
