Introduction

Replace the knife when the knife does not cut your media correctly anymore.

Before you begin

Use Océ Colorado 1640 prescribed:

  • Nitrile gloves for handling ink

  • Screwdriver (Torx-25) for the cover

  • Screwdriver (Torx-6) for the knife

  • Knife

NOTE

For information on the prescribed maintenance materials, see List of Océ Colorado 1640 maintenance materials.

CAUTION

Wear the Océ Colorado 1640 prescribed nitrile gloves. You can only wear the gloves for ten minutes. After ten minutes you must put on new gloves to prevent contact with the ink.

Procedure

  1. Open the top cover from the media input side.
  2. Put on the Océ Colorado 1640 approved nitrile gloves.
  3. Locate the knife and move it from the left to the right.

  6. Lift the cover up and take it out.

  8. Unscrew the two screws of the knife (1-2) with the Torx-6.
    NOTE

    Hold a piece of paper under the knife to collect any falling screws. This way you make sure you do not lose any of the screws inside the machine.

  9. Take the knife out.

    Make sure you position the knife in such a way it does not hit the sensor.

  10. Place a new knife with the wheel top-first in the rails and let it fall into position. Test to make sure the knife slides well on the rails.
  11. Fasten the two screws, hand tight.
