Replace wiper rollers

About this task

Replace the wiper roller at every printhead replacement.

Before you begin

Procedure

  1. On the user panel tap on [System].
  2. Tap on [Maintenance].
  3. Tap on [Replace wiper rollers] to start the wizard.
  4. Tap on [Next].
  5. Select the wiper roller that you want to replace and tap on [Start].
    IMPORTANT

    The positions of the wiper rollers correspond with the positions of the printheads. Standing in front of the printer, position 0 is the outer left position and position 4 is the outer right position.

  6. Please wait, while the print system prepares the wiper roller for replacement. The printhead service station will go to the maintenance position (See Print surface).
  7. You can now follow the steps in the wizard, or, for more detailed information, follow the steps below.
    NOTE

    From this point you can also follow the video instruction. After that, proceed with step number 17.

  8. Open the maintenance tray cover.
  9. Use the green print unit latch to open the print unit and the top cover.
  10. Put on gloves, grasp the wiper roller at one end and firmly pull up to remove it from its spring-loaded holder.
  11. Throw away the wiper roller.
  12. Take a new wiper roller and remove the protection foil by peeling the perforated section along the wiper roller length.
    NOTE

    Remove the complete protection foil.

  13. Check that the end with the ratchet mounted to it is on the left side and place this side at the entrance to the holder. Put the right side end of the wiper roller with the gear mounted to it into position. Push firmly, inserting the two portions of the shaft into the spring-loaded holders.
  14. To test for the proper engagement use the gear (3) to rotate the wiper roller. The ratchet must make a clicking sound.
    IMPORTANT

    Do not touch the micro-fibre surface of the wiper roller.

  15. Take off the gloves and close the print unit.
  16. Close the maintenance tray cover.
  17. On the user panel tap on [Next] several times, and wait while the print system prepares the new wiper roller for usage. This takes about 15 minutes.
  18. Tap on [Finish] to close the wizard.
