Start periodic maintenance

Introduction

Start periodic maintenance when the operator panel gives a warning.

You can perform a variety of maintenance actions and you can print a nozzle classification chart to optimize the nozzles.

IMPORTANT

You must perform all periodic maintenance once a month when indicated, otherwise the printer functions are not guaranteed.

Procedure

  1. On the operator panel tap on the [Tools]  icon on the right.
  2. Tap on [Periodic maintenance] .
  3. When you want to print nozzle classification charts to optimize the nozzles:
    1. Make sure [Advanced automatic nozzle optimization]  is selected.
    2. Select a roll to print the nozzle classification charts on.
    NOTE

    The nozzle classification charts can only be printed on smooth, white, opaque, non-reflective media. Any other media will deteriorate the optimization.

    Use a media width that is as large as possible and larger than 841 mm in order to get the best optimization results.

    The [Advanced automatic nozzle optimization]  can take quite some time, around 25 minutes. The printer will optimize the media step accuracy and print two nozzle classification charts.

  4. Tap on [Start] .
  5. Perform any or all of the listed actions:

    1. Clean the maintenance station, wiper and clean wall

    2. Clean the matrix plate

    3. Clean the mirrors

    4. Clean the M&C scanner

    5. Clean the platen

    6. Vacuum the chiller

    7. Clean the ink unit

    IMPORTANT

    Wait until the [Completed]  button turns black and the printhead carriage is in maintenance position, before you open the top cover and start cleaning.
