- Place the printer on a horizontal desktop
Due to the way of working, inkjet printer placed place must be horizontal, inclined to work not only affect the print effect, slow down nozzle working speed, and can damage the internal mechanical structure. do not put the printer on the ground, especially carpeted ground, it is easy to have foreign matter or dust flying into the machine. - Take good measures to prevent dust
When the printer is working, don’t open the front panel. there is nothing interesting when printing, just the nozzle is moving around, also to prevent the dust is blown into the machine.After printing and cooling for half an hour, cover the dust shield immediately and don’t keep the shield open in the room. - Turn off the machine before unplugging it
Before using the printer or moving it, do a permanent power-off. turn off the printer power first (if any), reset the nozzle and cover the ink tank, and then unplug the power cord and signal cable. Prevents ink from evaporating and does not easily damage the nozzle when moving - Install the toner cartridge carefullyThe support mechanism of toner cartridge only can bear little strength. be careful when installing the new toner cartridge. according to the normal design, the toner cartridge can be installed with proper strength, don’t push the support hard.
- Timely clean
The outside of the printer is the same as the inside. It should be cleaned regularly. don’t wait until it is full of thick dust and remedied it after with problem. The outside of the printer can be wiped with a wet soft cloth. The cleaning liquid must be a neutral substance such as water. Use dry cloth to wipe the interior as much as possible, and do not touch internal electronic components, machinery, etc. - Printer internal structure
The cleaning of the nozzle should not be done manually. The best way is to use a software-controlled printhead cleaning program. Especially after adding ink, be sure to clean the print head to prevent the two inks from mixing and solidifying. in addition, if the quality of printing is decreased, such as strip stripes and color fading, the nozzle should also be cleaned.
If the software cleaning method fails, it proves that the blockage is more serious. which is usually caused by the printer being unused for a long time or the interruption of electricity during use, and the nozzle is not reset. with a syringe against the nozzle, constantly pulling the pressure device, the high-speed air stream is used to clean the nozzle ,and sucking out the remaining ink, which is an ink-saving cleaning method.
If the first manual cleaning method does not work, it is now ready to open the printer. Turn off the power first, unplug it, and disconnect the power completely. Disassemble the moving shaft and rotate the belt, then carefully pick up the print head and rinse it with distilled water. A syringe and soft hose are then used to form an injection system that is inserted into the ink inlet for cleaning. Be extremely careful in both steps. Never let the water get on the board. If the board get wetted, should be blow drying with an electric blower immediately. Then reinstall it in the printer and execute the software cleaning program again to let the ink wash away the distilled water inside the nozzle. - Avoid stress on the printer
People sometimes place other objects on the printer, which may break the printer’s casing and some small things will fall into the printer. Of course, drinks and teacups are banned. - Be sure to use the ink when it is loaded
Because color toner cartridges are expensive, users are reluctant to use them, but they can also cause you a lot of trouble. Each time the nozzle sprays the ink, there is always the remaining ink left nearby, always using inkjet printer. The new ink in the cartridge will wash away the last remaining ink, otherwise they will slowly solidify, causing the nozzle to clog. Even if no ink was used, the machine will automatically clean the nozzles at regular intervals, which will result in greater waste.
Regardless any kind of inks is out of ink, should change into a new cartridge as soon as possible. Some people think that black ink is not needed for color printing. In fact, the color ink is not pure black, and the printer will report an error and cannot print. - Do not use multiple inks
Because the ink chemical composition that each manufacturer is different, choose the same brand as far as possible and don’t change them frequently to avoid damage to the ink cartridges and print heads. the ink cartridge has a certain life span, and the number of ink refills is not unlimited. Usually, the safe method is to replace it within 10 times.
