If the printer is to be shut down for up to 7 days, flush the gutter with the correct cleaning solvent during
the auto-flush cycle to ensure the gutter is completely clean. Clean the rest of the print head.
If the printer is to be switched off for longer than 7 days, or transported, the ink and make up should be
replaced with cleaning solvent to prevent valve and nozzle blocking. This can be done by using the
following process.
1. Use the Ink and Makeup Change procedure (see Section x.x) to remove the Ink and Makeup
from the Printer. The Makeup can be used as a cleaning solution for the flush process.
2. Pour roughly 500ml of Cleaning Solvent or Makeup in the Ink tank; reinstall the Ink tank,
leaving the Manifold loose.
3. Turn ON the power.
4. Turn all “Override” conditions to “Yes.” This will ensure no errors will inhibit this process.
5. Start the Jet by pressing the “START” button on the main screen. This will flush the Printer of
Ink.
6. Press the “STOP” button on the main screen to stop the Printer after 2 minutes.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 three times for long term storage.
8. Replace an empty tank, leaving the tank adapter loose. Ensure the pickup and return lines are
above fluid levels during the process. The intent is to flush the system of all fluids.
9. Follow steps 3 through 7.
