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. If ink settles on your skin or
gets in your eyes, immediately and completely wash them off with water. 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.3-25)” ) , [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.
 For cleaning, we recommend the use of the clean stick. If using cotton swab,
remaining lint of the cotton swab may cause printing failure.
