5 Maintenance of Circulation System (PXR-P)
5.1 General Structure of Circulation System
5.1.1 The general structure of the circulation system is shown in the following figure.
Using an open/close type door (unit door) as a partition, the system is roughly
divided into an ink circulating area (the front side of the equipment) and a driving
part area (the rear side of the equipment).
Caution:
Since the circulation unit is made of plastic, tightening the screws with excessive
torque will break the unit. See the table below for reference torques:
