5.3 Procedure: daily shutdown
Time required for this procedure is only as long as it takes to clean the heads.
Procedure:
Notes:
• During a shutdown the height of the shuttle is minimized to reduce the chance of misting or
splashing of the ultraviolet ink while dripping or purging the print heads.
• In preparing for a shutdown the operator should ensure that all jets in the print heads are clear to
avoid any problem with a blockage expanding or becoming more fixed in place during the down
time. This is why the procedures start with a prime check.
1
Perform a prime check to verify that all print heads are
functioning correctly, see 7.2.1.
2
If any nozzles are blocked they must be cleared before
leaving the printer idle.
3
On the front panel: switch off the vacuum of the media
transport belt.
4
Remove the media used for the prime check.
5
Move the shuttle to the home position (it lowers itself to its
minimum height). Normally the shuttle is in the home posi-
tion.
6
Leave the color flow valves [1] in the position “ink”.
7
Leave the storage flush flow valve [2] in the position
“close”.
8
Leave the vacuum switches [3] and [4] on.
9

Important:
As part of the printer’s operation while idling an automatic process drips the white print heads every 3
hours for 3 seconds. This requires the shuttle to be in the home position with the Home Cover closed to
minimize ink splashing.
