This section describes what is required for printer maintenance.
Equipment
Safety glasses with side shields
Gloves (for example: Ansell Microflex 93-260)
Foam Tipped Swab (3010118211)
Cloth-Poly Wipe 10cm x 10cm (lint-free)
Surface Cleaner
Isopropyl alcohol - IPA (>= 98%)
CAUTION
Wear gloves when contact with ink or maintenance materials is possible. Gloves should always overlap sleeves. Follow the ink related Safety Data Sheets (SDS) guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety. For example use Ansell Microflex 93-260 gloves, which offer a protection against UV inks and flush up to one hour. Pollution with other chemicals can shorten the protection time against UV inks and flush.
Wear eye protection as prescribed in this document when performing a task or action in this area.
CAUTION
It is recommended that gloves are used for one time only and should be removed and replaced with new gloves if contaminated with inks or damaged. Chemicals in UV inks can penetrate nitrile gloves in less than 10 minutes. UV-curable inks can contain sensitizing chemicals which can lead to sensitization upon prolonged or repeated exposure to skin. Canon Production Printing recommends that contaminated gloves are removed and replaced with new gloves.
