ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Under normal operating conditions the unit should require very little
maintenance. However, there are periodic checks to ensure the unit remains in
good working order.
Note: The ship cap is used as a protective cover for the nozzle plate and should be
used if the unit is left idle for more than 24 hours. This will prevent dust from
interfering with the ink delivery.
These checks are basic maintenance that can be carried out by the operator at daily
and 6 monthly periods
The life of the unit relies on the placement of the unit in its environment. The
unit should be located where it will not get knocked or connections constantly
snagged. The unit should be protected as much as possible from dust, moisture,
excessive heat, electromagnetic radiation and intense vibration. Where problems
do occur, refer to the Troubleshooting section of this manual.
If air is suspected in the ink system, carry out the priming the print head procedure
on page 49.
CAUTIONS: (1) C6000 - only wipe across the nozzle plate with approved cleaning
materials supplied by Domino UK Ltd.
(2) C3000 & C1000 - Avoid contact with the face plate and non-
wetting coating, only use wetting agent provided with approved
cleaning materials.
(3) Never wipe the nozzle plate when it is dry. Normally a prime is
performed prior to wiping.
(4) Wiping should be carried out in one direction only as debris tends to
collect on one side of the plate.
(5) The wiper itself should be cleaned after each wiping operation by
passing it over absorbent material. Ensure that this material does not
shed.
