5.6
External transport or storage for any length of time
External transports include all transports that are not internal transports.
These are transports:
… from one building to another building within a company,
… from one company to another company,
… on public streets by truck or trailer,
… with long and/or uneven transport routes.
Notice
Transports by forklifts or other vehicles without suspension should
be kept to an absolute minimum.
The ITS6 printer should be packed in the special wooden crate in which it
was delivered. Similarly, due to the unavoidable jarring during transport,
more extensive measures for securing the printer have to be taken than
during a transport within the company.
These instructions also apply to situations where the printer has to be taken
out of commission and stored for any length of time.
5.6.1
Transport preparations
>
In addition to the tasks listed in Chapters 5.4.1 and 5.4.2, the following
tasks also have to be completed:
>
Rinse all print heads thoroughly with cleaning fluid (tab
Job > Clean-
ing
). This process has to be repeated several times until the contents
of each print head and the connecting lines have been completely re-
placed.
>
Remove the substrate web roll from the unwinding unit!
This is necessary since otherwise, each time the printer is jarred, the
strain on the unwinder shaft would be too great.
>
Remove the substrate web roll from the rewinding unit!
This is necessary since otherwise, each time the printer is jarred, the
strain on the rewinder shaft would be too high.
>
Remove all of the unwound printing substrate from the machine. This
prevents the material no longer under tension from rubbing against the
sensitive surfaces of the printing unit.
>
Drain the cooling circuit and seal the inlet and outlet with the appropri-
ate plugs.
>
The following components have to be removed/replaced:
Remove the cartridge with the cleaning fluid (in case of longer stor-
age),
