Maintenance Tips
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your CH-40 print head and ensure consistent output quality:
- Built-in Cleaning: Use the printer driver’s “Maintenance” tab to execute Cleaning or Deep Cleaning cycles if you notice missing lines or faded colors.
- Nozzle Checks: Print a nozzle check pattern regularly to identify potential clogs before they affect critical print jobs.
- Manual Cleaning: If built-in functions fail, use a lint-free cloth dampened with distilled water to gently wipe away dried ink from the removed print head.
- Ink Levels: Ensure you have enough ink in your MegaTank system; printing with insufficient ink can lead to improper nozzle checks or damaged print heads.
