Clean the ink unit

Introduction

It is advised to clean the ink unit regularly to keep the printer in the best condition. You can clean the ink unit when you replace a bottle or during periodic maintenance.

Before you begin

Use Océ Colorado 1640 prescribed:

  • Nitrile gloves for handling ink

  • Lint free cloths

  • Cleaning liquid (IPA)

NOTE

For information on the prescribed maintenance materials, see List of Océ Colorado 1640 maintenance materials.

CAUTION

Wear the Océ Colorado 1640 prescribed nitrile gloves. You can only wear the gloves for ten minutes. After ten minutes you must put on new gloves to prevent contact with the ink.

IMPORTANT

Use the prescribed cleaning liquid. Do not use any other cleaners.

Procedure

  1. Go to the side of the printer where the ink bottles are located.
  2. Put on the Océ Colorado 1640 approved nitrile gloves.
  3. Hold the bottle you want to replace with one hand and keep it straight. Move the green handle down with the other hand.

    The handle is located left of the bottle you want to replace.

  4. Take the empty bottle out of the slot.
  5. Dispose the bottle as chemical waste according to local regulations.

    If preferred and possible, you can repeat the steps to take out all bottles.

  6. Take a lint free cloth and clean the indicated areas surrounding the slots until all residue ink is gone.

    If necessary, dampen a swab with the cleaning liquid to remove any remaining ink.

  7. When all residue ink is removed, dispose the gloves and cloths as chemical waste according to local regulations.

If preferred and possible, you can place new bottles and refill ink. The order of the bottles from left to right is YCMK. For more information, see Refill ink.
