6.5.5 FLUSHING UNIT
During a long print job, the machine flushes all the nozzles with a very small
amount of ink at 15-second intervals. This keeps the nozzles clear and in good
working condition.
The flushing gate [A] and the flushing collection unit (below the gate) are located
on the left side of the printer.
During continuous printing, the print heads are positioned over the flushing gate
every 15 seconds. Then the nozzles get flushed with ink. The ink flushed from the
nozzles goes through the flushing gate and into a sump below.
A small amount of ink is used to flush the print heads.
NOTE: The sump of the collection unit should never fill to capacity for the service
life of the printer. You do not have to clean or replace the sump.
