Start periodic maintenance

Introduction

Start periodic maintenance when the operator panel gives a warning.

Periodic maintenance contains a variety of mandatory maintenance actions and the possibility to print a nozzle classification chart to optimise the nozzles.

IMPORTANT

You must perform all periodic maintenance actions once a month when indicated, otherwise the printer functions are not guaranteed.

Procedure

  1. On the operator panel tap on the [Tools]  icon on the right.
  2. Tap on [Periodic 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

    media categories:

    • Heavy paper > 200 gsm

    • Paper

    • Film

    • Polymeric & cast 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 all off the listed actions:

    1. Clean the maintenance station, wiper and clean wall

    2. Clean the matrix plate

    3. Clean the mirrors

    4. Clean the M&C scanner

    5. Clean the platen

    6. Clean the buffer plate

    7. Vacuum the chiller

    8. Clean the ink unit

    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.
