The daily maintenance activities in this section should be performed at the beginning of each work day.
To maintain optimal printing performance it is important to remove dust and debris from the following surfaces:
Vacuum table
Maintenance door
Gantry light shield
CAUTION
For cleaning areas of the printer that have uncured ink contamination use the following safety equipment - nitrile gloves, a lab coat, and safety glasses with side shields to protect your eyes.
To maintain optimal printing performance it is important to remove any excess ink build up from the following areas:
Ink spit tray
Bottom of the printheads
Bottom of the carriage
AMS suckers
AMS self-cleaning plate
Excess ink can become tacky over time. This will make it easier for dust and fibers to attach to these surfaces. Dust and fibers that collect on the bottom of the printheads or carriage can collect ink during printing and eventually drip on to the media.
