ton. This special cleaning also takes about two minutes.

Be careful not to unplug the printer too quickly. As with the

other extended cleaning cycle, there’s a quiet period during

which solvent is allowed to soak into the print head and other

parts.

Wait for the POWER light to go out. That’s your signal the

printer is ready to be stored or transported.

Here’s a brief summary of the cleaning cycles:

l 

The printer automatically cleans itself when it is turned on

and periodically during operation.

l 

If you notice a slight deterioration in print quality, push the

ON LINE button to make the printer go off-line. Then press

the CLEANING button for a few moments. To resume print-

ing, press the ON LINE button again.

l 

For a more extensive cleaning, wait for the printing to stop,

then turn the printer off. Turn it back on again while pressing

the CLEANING button.

l 

When the printer won’t be used for an extended period, or is

to be stored or transported, clear the printing parts of ink by

turning the printer off while holding down the CLEANING

button. Let the POWER indicator go out before unplugging

the printer.

The SQ-2000 is often able to tell when something goes wrong,

such as when paper has jammed or someone forgot to replace the

ink cartridge. It does that through special sensing devices.

When such a problem occurs, you may be alerted by a warning

light or buzzer. Or the printer just won’t operate.

The following troubleshooting guide provides some of the

more common problems that may arise during normal operation.

To save time (and perhaps some embarrassment), be sure to refer

to it before you call in service personnel.
