This chapter is necessary only if you have an Océ Arizona printer with the white ink option included. Due to the nature of the white ink, regular maintenance is required to keep the white printheads functioning properly. This is important even when white ink is not actively used.
In printers with this option, the white ink is re-circulated in the system to limit any settling of the ink. For this to take place, the printer must be left powered on at all times. Daily maintenance is even more essential with the white ink option as it will purge out a small amount of white ink in order to keep the printheads clear and operating reliably. White ink may require additional purges.
If your printer includes the white ink option, all 5 ink bags must be present and all must contain ink in order for the printer to function properly.
IMPORTANT
Daily maintenance is important even when White ink is not being actively used. Failure to perform daily maintenance, even when white ink is not used, can result in nozzle dropouts or even printhead damage.
