Inkjet printer daily maintenance precautions

1. Make sure the printer is working on a stable level. Do not place anything on top of the printer. The printer must close its front cover when printing to prevent dust or other hard objects from entering the machine and hindering the movement of the printer carriage, causing unnecessary malfunction.
If you open two ink cartridges at the same time (one black ink cartridge, one color ink cartridge), you should place one of the ink cartridges in the random gift cartridge. It is forbidden to insert and remove the printed wires. This will damage the print port of the printer and the parallel port of the PC. In severe cases, it will even break through the motherboard of the PC.
If the printed output is not clear, streaks or other defects, the print head can be cleaned using the printer's automatic cleaning function, but it requires a small amount of ink. If the print is still not satisfactory after several consecutive cleanings, the ink may have run out and the ink cartridge needs to be replaced.
2, to ensure the use of clean environment. If there are too many dusts in the environment, it may easily lead to poor lubrication of the guide shaft of the word carriage, which may cause the movement of the print head to be blocked in the printing process, causing the printing position to be inaccurate or crashing into the mechanical frame. Sometimes, this kind of crash is caused by the print head not returning to the initial position. When the printer is restarted, the printer first returns the print head to the initial position, and then the print head is cleaned, thus causing unnecessary waste of ink.
The solution to this problem is to wipe off dust from the guide shaft and lubricate the guide shaft (use a fluid with good fluidity, such as sewing machine oil).
3, when the ink cartridge is not used, it is best not to remove, so as not to cause ink waste or printer ink measurement errors.
4. Before shutting down, let the print head return to the initial position (the printer will automatically return to the initial position when the printer is paused). Some printers automatically move the print head to its initial position before shutting it down. Some printers must be turned off at the shutdown confirmation (that is, the pause light or PAUSE light is on). One way to do this is to avoid wasting ink when the printer restarts the print head operation the next time it is turned on. Second, the print head can be sealed by the protective cover in its initial position, making it difficult for the print head to jam.
5. Some printers are mechanically locked in their initial position. At this point, if you move the print head by hand, you will not be able to move it from its original position. Be careful not to forcefully move the print head, as this will cause damage to the mechanical part of the printer.
6. When replacing the ink cartridge, be sure to follow the steps in the operation manual. Special attention must be paid to the above operation when the power is turned on. Because the ink delivery system will be refilled after the ink cartridge is replaced again, this process cannot be performed in the off state, and the printer cannot detect the reinstalled ink cartridge.
In addition, some printers measure the ink volume by using an electronic counter inside the printer (especially for the statistics of the usage of color inks). When the counter reaches a certain value, the printer determines that the ink has run out. During the ink cartridge replacement process, the printer resets its internal electronic counter to confirm that a new ink cartridge is installed.
7. When plugging in and unplugging the printer power cord and printing cable, it must be done with the printer power off.
8. When the ink cartridge is not used for a long time, it should be kept at room temperature to avoid direct sunlight.
