Cleaning the Ink Spit Tray

Introduction

The ink spit tray must be cleaned daily with a lint-free cloth and Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or Surface Cleaner.

Equipment

  • Safety glasses with side shields

  • Gloves (for example: Ansell Microflex 93-260)

  • Cloth-Poly Wipe 10cm x 10cm (lint-free)

  • Surface Cleaner

  • Isopropyl alcohol - IPA (>= 98%)

Procedure

  1. Move the carriage to the maintenance position (See the Tools and Utilities tab in the user interface).
  2. If there is excessive ink, first soak up some by blotting with an absorbent cloth (do not scrub). Then soak a lint-free cloth in Isopropyl alcohol (IPA) or Surface Cleaner and scrub the surface where there is ink.
    IMPORTANT

    It is important to use lint-free cloths as fibers from other types of cleaning materials can get caught in the slots of the spit tray.

  3. If necessary, repeat with a clean cloth until all ink is removed.
