After all,How to Properly Care for Your P600 Printer Articles printers also need constant updates and maintenances too for them to work optimally. So, if you have a P600 DTG icolor 600 printer, here are some ways to take proper care of it.

 

  • Remove debris and dust.

 

Dust can accumulate, which can clog your P600 DTG icolor 600 printer. They can also cause ink streaks as well as paper jams when printing.

 

Thus, make it a habit always to dust off the fine particles that start to accumulate on top of your printer and its internal parts.

 

However, be careful in cleaning the internal parts as these are more delicate than the external ones. You may use a vacuum to avoid touching the fragile components. If you don’t have a vacuum, use a cotton swab to free the narrow printer areas from dust.

 

  • Resolve mechanical errors carefully.

 

Like most electronic products, P600 DTG icolor 600 printers will eventually last longer than expected when you take proper care of them. An incorrectly handled paper jam and other mechanical errors can result in further printing issues.

 

Therefore, instead of acting aggressively on your printer by slamming it or pressing its buttons hardly, patiently refer to the manual for any instructions and troubleshooting steps.

 

There are different ways to resolve a paper jam, depending on its model. However, the most common practice is slowly withdrawing the paper out of your printer using both of your hands to avoid ripping it.

 

  • Regularly check and clean the printer head.

 

Suppose you might have noticed that your printouts are already blurry. In that case, their colors are already faded and have ink gaps.

 

Some of its nozzles in its printer head might have been clogged already. These conditions may also be caused by a lack of one or more ink colors in the cartridges. To solve this, follow these steps:

 

  1. It would be best if you loaded some sheets of paper. It could be plain scratch paper so that you wouldn’t have to waste your resources.

  2. Press or tap on the printer’s button or touch screen to access the primary menu.

  3. Next, press its F button and select the option “Maintenance.”

  4. After doing so, choose the option “Print Head Check.”

  5. Then, press or tap “Print” to finally print a nozzle check pattern.

  6. Lastly, check the pattern of the nozzle that is printed out. Check for any gaps in the colored lines.

 

However, if the print quality is still low and the nozzle checking still indicates some clogged nozzles, the print head should be cleaned. 

 

The head cleaning lasts an average of two minutes. When it is already done, you will see a message on its screen. However, be cautious. Do not turn off your printer during the entire head cleaning process or risk damaging your printer.

 

The most effective and safest way to take good care of your printer is to refer to its manual to avoid furthering its pre-existing issues. Make it a habit to continually check its printer head and clean the dust properly.
