Cleaning the ink discharge passage [DISWAY WASH]
Cleaning the ink discharge passage [DISWAY WASH]
Use this function when the [PUMP TUBE WASH] function cannot be used.
There may be a chance that the ink discharge passage can be clogged with coagulated ink. To avoid clogging,
clean the ink discharge passage periodically. (When solvent ink is used, clean once a week.)
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 [DISWAY WASH] by pressing the [] key three times and press the [ENTER]
key.
The carriage will come out of the capping station.
Idle suction is performed in cycles of 5-second suction followed by 10-second pause.
 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.
 Do not move the carriage out of the capping station by hand. Select the
[ST.MAINTENANCE] function to move the carriage.
 First make sure that the pump is not clogged. If the pump is clogged, the clean-
ing function does not work normally. When the [DISWAY WASH] function is exe-
cuted, there may be a case where the cleaning liquid keeps staying in the caps
without flowing out. In such a case, the pump may be clogged. If the pump is
clogged, contact your dealer or a sales office of MIMAKI.
 If there is a problem with the waste ink tank, the display will show either of the
following messages.
Follow the displayed instructions to restore the normal conditions.
