Capping the Print Heads Manually
• Do this procedure only when it is absolutely necessary and the print heads cannot be capped
automatically by switching the machine on.
1. Slowly, push the carriage unit to the right side of the machine until it stops. The carriage
should be over the maintenance unit.
• In order to prevent damage to the wipers and edges of the print head caps, the print heads
must be positioned directly above the print head caps within ±0.8 mm.
2. Use a flashlight to look through the hole and check the position of the hex socket.
• If the hex socket is visible [A], the cleaning unit is forward and no adjustment is necessary. Go
to the next Step.
• If the hex socket is only partially visible or not visible at all [B] and [C], then set a screwdriver
at [D] and rotate it counter-clockwise to move the cleaning mechanism until you see the hex
socket [A]. This moves the cleaning unit forward so that you can raise the suction cap.
• The cleaning unit may be out of position (to the rear) only if the machine was interrupted
during the print head cleaning cycle as a result of a power outage.
3. Set a screwdriver in hole [A] and rotate it counter-clockwise to raise the suction cap. Use
a flashlight to confirm that the suction cap is up.
