Start manual maintenance

Introduction

Start manual maintenance in case of quality issues.

You can clean the maintenance station, wiper, clean wall, matrix plate and you can print a nozzle classification chart to optimize the nozzles.

Procedure

  1. On the operator panel tap on the [Tools] icon on the right.
  2. Tap on [Manual maintenance].
  3. When you want to print nozzle classification charts to optimise the nozzles:
    1. Make sure [Advanced automatic nozzle optimisation] is selected.
    2. Select a roll to print the nozzle classification charts on.
    NOTE

    The nozzle classification chart can only be printed on media of one of the following categories:

    • Heavy paper > 200 gsm

    • Paper 120-200 gsm

    • Film

    • Polymeric & cast self-adhesive vinyl

    • Thick film > 200 um

    On the other media categories, these procedures cannot be performed.

    When no roll is loaded with one of the above mentioned categories, no roll will be indicated for the automatic nozzle optimisation.

    Use a media width that is as large as possible and larger than 840 mm in order to get the best optimisation results.

    The [Advanced automatic nozzle optimisation] can take quite some time, around 25 minutes. The printer will optimise the media step accuracy and print two nozzle classification charts.

  4. Tap on [Start].
  5. Perform any or all of the listed actions:
    1. Clean the maintenance station, wiper and clean wall

    2. Clean the matrix plate

    3. Clean the platen

    IMPORTANT

    Wait until the [Completed] button turns black and the printhead carriage is in maintenance position, before you open the top cover and start cleaning.
