How to maintain a printer that has not been used for a long time

Place the printer on a horizontal desktop

Due to the working method of the inkjet printer itself, the place where the printer is placed must be a horizontal plane. Tilting work will not only affect the printing effect, slow down the working speed of the nozzle, but also damage the internal mechanical structure. Do not place the printer on the ground, especially on carpeted floors, as it is easy for foreign objects or dust to fly into the machine.

Take dust-proof measures

When the printer is working, do not open the front panel. Firstly, the printing is nothing good, but the nozzles are moving around. Secondly, to avoid dust blowing into the inside of the machine. After printing, after half an hour of heat dissipation, put on the dust cover immediately and do not leave it empty in the room.

Turn off the machine before unplugging the power

Before you do not use the printer or move it, do a permanent power off work, first turn off the printer power (if available), let the nozzle reset and the ink tank cover, and then unplug the power cord and signal line. Prevent the ink from evaporating, and it is not easy to damage the nozzle when moving.

Install the ink cartridges carefully

The support mechanism of the ink cartridge can bear little strength. Be careful when installing a new ink cartridge. According to the normal design, the ink cartridge can be installed with proper strength. Do not push the bracket vigorously.

Clean in time

The exterior and interior of the printer must be cleaned regularly. Don't wait for a thick layer of dust to remedy problems. The outside of the printer can be wiped with a soft cloth dampened with water. The cleaning liquid must be a neutral substance such as water, and alcohol must not be used. Try to wipe the interior with a dry cloth, and do not touch the internal electronic components, mechanical devices, etc.

Printer internal structure

Try not to clean the nozzle manually. The best way is to use a software-controlled print head cleaning program to complete it. Especially after adding ink, you must clean the print head to prevent the two inks from mixing and causing solidification. In addition, if the print quality has deteriorated, such as streaks, color loss, etc., you also need to clean the nozzles.

If the software cleaning method fails, it proves that the blockage is more serious, usually because the printer has not been used for a long time or the power has been interrupted during use, and the nozzle has not been reset. Pointing a syringe to the nozzle and constantly pulling the pressure device to let the high-speed air flow clean the nozzle and suck out the remaining ink is a cleaning method that saves ink.

If the first manual cleaning method does not work, you must now prepare to disassemble the printer. Turn off the power first, unplug the plug, and disconnect the power completely. Disassemble the moving shaft and the rotating belt, then carefully pick up the print head and rinse it with distilled water. Then use a syringe and a soft rubber tube to form an ejection system, which is inserted into the ink hole for cleaning. Both steps must be extremely careful, never let water get on the circuit board, if unfortunately the circuit board gets wet, you should immediately dry it with a hair dryer. Finally, put it back in the printer and execute the software cleaning program again to let the ink wash away the distilled water in the nozzle.

Avoid heavy pressure on the printer

Some people often place other objects on the printer, which may crush the printer casing and some small objects may fall into the printer. Of course, beverages and teacups are forbidden.

You must use it with ink

Because color ink cartridges are expensive, users are reluctant to use them, but files can also bring you a lot of trouble. Every time a nozzle sprays ink, there is always remaining ink left nearby. Often with an inkjet printer, the new ink in the ink cartridge will flush out the remaining ink from the last time, otherwise they will slowly solidify and cause the nozzle to block. Even if ink is not used, the machine will automatically clean the nozzles regularly, which will cause greater waste.

No matter what kind of ink is short of ink, replace with a new ink cartridge as soon as possible. Some people think that black ink is not needed for color printing. In fact, the mixed color ink is not pure black, and the printer will report an error and cannot print.

Do not use multiple inks

Since the chemical composition of ink used by various manufacturers is different, try to use the same brand and do not replace frequently, so as not to cause damage to the ink cartridges and print heads. Ink cartridges have a certain lifespan, and the number of ink refills is not unlimited. The usual safe method is to replace them within ten times.
