This section describes what is required for printer maintenance.
Safety glasses with side shields
Gloves (for example: Ansell Microflex 93-260)
Foam Tipped Swab (3010118211)
Cloth-Poly Wipe 10cm x 10cm (lint-free)
Surface Cleaner
Isopropyl alcohol - IPA (>= 98%)
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. For example use Ansell Microflex 93-260 gloves, which offer a protection against UV inks and flush up to one hour. Pollution with other chemicals can shorten the protection time against UV inks and flush.
Wear eye protection as prescribed in this document when performing a task or action in this area.
Wear protective sleeves during printhead maintenance (for example DuPont Tychem 6000 F oversleeve model PS32LA).
