 17. Maintenance 

Machine Maintenance 

In order to keep the machine in a good working condition, one must regularly perform the following tasks:  

 

Before printing, one should issue the nozzle test command to check print head

’s nozzles

 status. 

In case, nozzles are blocked or test result is not good, then one should perform head cleaning 

process to clean print head’s nozzles (Refer to Head Cleaning section)

.  

 

Print head nozzle surface area should be cleaned by following the instructions given on the Head 
Cleaning section for a long life.  

 

Every day after working, one should check the condition of print head nozzles by performing the 
nozzle test. Additionally, print head nozzles should be kept out from light to avoid the dry out 
situation. 

 

Weekly perform thorough cleaning for the workshop to maintain a good working environment; 
remove  dust  from  equipment;  clean  all  transmission  parts  and  give  transmission  bearings 
lubricating oil.  

 

Monthly carefully examine equipment pares and sum up the machine parts situation.   

 

Every three months the ink system should be thoroughly cleaned in order to keep good printing 
quality. 

 

Equipment Cleaning 

Follow the below given instruction during the equipment cleaning process: 

 

Avoid splashing liquid and dropping on/in the circuit board or the power line.   

 

Should clean the circuit boards using the low-power hair dryer.  

 

Sensitive devices, like sensors and raster, should be cleaning using the liquid solution provided 
with the machine.  

 

Use clean cloth to clean up the dust and residual oil on the tracks. 

 

Power System Maintenance 

Follow the below given instructions to perform the power system maintenance: 

 

Static electricity and ground wire should always be checked whether loose or disconnection.  

 

Towlines (containing power lines and data lines) should be inspected regularly for broken links, 
false links or several lines twisted together.   

 

One should regularly monitor the power supply system as due to long working hours; the machine 
can  behave  abnormally  such  as  output  voltage  of  power-supplying  may  change,  the  power 
potential overheating temperature, ageing of wires, etc. 

 

Some parts of the machine viz. UV lamps and motor generate lots of heat during working. Thus, 
one should arrange proper ventilation for long life of the machine.
