2 collision detection sensors are located on the printhead carriage, 1 on each side. The collision detection sensors prevent printhead damage caused by crashes of the carriage with media or obstacles on the printbelt.
Because pollution of the sensors can cause print quality issues, you must ensure that the collision detection sensors are clean.
Use the Colorado XL-series prescribed:
Microflex gloves for handling ink
Lint free cloths
Cleaning liquid IPA
CAUTION
Always wear protective gloves when opening the covers of the machine.
CAUTION
Wear gloves when contact with ink or maintenance materials is possible. Gloves should always overlap sleeves. Follow the ink related Safety Data Sheets (SDS) guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety.
