Storage and Transportation
7.1. Storing the Printer
After the unit has been switched off, the tubing supplying ink to the head and carrying it away
from the head needs to be emptied. When the unit is switched off in the regular mode the ink
gets sucked from the pipes and the pipes are rinsed and filled with solvent. That mode of
switching off ensures that the unit is fully efficient when it resumes operation after a break
which lasts no longer than
about one week
. The inside of the head, especially the nozzle and
the gutter are to be kept clean and washed with solvent. Additionally, the data stored in the
memory of the printer can be battery backed over about 1 month (this refers to parameters,
text files, date and time and other data saved and set up by the user before).
If the unit is to remain idle (in the off state) for a period
longer than one week
, two problems
may arise during that period:
the tubing, a valve or any other ink system element may get dry or blocked, which will
hinder the operation of the device when restarted,
the battery-supplied memory containing texts and parameters set up by the user may
be cleared (because the battery may discharge) - after about a month.
In order to avoid problems with ink drying in the ink system during long-term storage, make
sure that the printer is switched off in one of the additional switch-off modes.
In order to enable the additional switching-off modes, select item
