MAINTENANCE
GENERAL
CAUTION: Do not use needles or other pointed objects to clear the ink jet
orifices, or use sharp objects such as screwdrivers to scrape off dried
ink from the nozzle plate.
Ensure the printer and ink is correctly configured for the application, otherwise
print performance and component life span will be affected. The life of the
printer depends on the working environment in which it is placed and the
treatment it receives at the hands of operators. Ensure that the printer is installed
where it will not be knocked, protect it as much as possible from heat, dust and
vibration and never allow any part of the printer to come into contact with water
or other liquids.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Under normal operating conditions the printer requires minimal maintenance. A
few periodic checks are all that is needed to keep the system running at optimum
performance.
Inspect and clean the system regularly. Periodic maintenance will be required at
the beginning and end of each working day, before holidays and every six months.
Most maintenance can be carried out by the operator and involves no more than
replacing ink bottles, cleaning the nozzle plates or performing a prime. The
printer warranty may be invalidated by damage caused through not following
proper maintenance procedures.
Where a problem occurs, refer to the TROUBLESHOOTING chapter of this
manual for help. It may be, should a degradation in print quality occur, that a
wipe of the ink or dust from the surface of the nozzle plate is all that is required.
