PART 3: MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
PERIODS OF SHUT DOWN
SHORT PERIODS OF SHUT DOWN
When the printer has been shut down overnight, the system might require a
purge to clear out dust particles that have settled on the nozzle area during non-
use. This is only necessary if there are missing dots in the printed code on
product.
NOTE: IT IS BEST TO REMOVE CARTRIDGES WHEN NOT IN USE,
AND STORED IN THE APPROVED CARTRIDGE CLIP.
To purge be sure that the unit is in the STOPPED
Mode by pressing green
key. The screen
changes to STOPPED as shown to left.
Place a piece of lint free wipe in front of the print
head and press the red
. Allow the unit to purge
for several seconds. There is an automatic shut
down after 1,000 printed columns to ensure that the
print head will not be damaged. If ink residue has
solidified on the nozzle area a small drop of ink may
be applied to the lint free wipe.
When purging is complete the LCD will be returned
to the STOPPED Mode.
Press the green
and the screen changes to
PRINTING, as shown at the left. The unit is ready
to begin coding.
