Maintenance, Storage
and Transport
6 It is recommended that the outer
face of the print head, especially
the nozzle plate
2 , and possibly
the guide rolls 1 and 3 should be
washed in order to remove the
remnants of ink and dirt after the
work has been finished and the
printer has been switched off.
The washing should be done in
the following way:
•
Place the HANDJET printer
on its side and tilt its face
downwards carefully (see
the drawing below); in such
a position dirty wash-up can
flow freely out of the printer,
•
Place a piece of absorptive
cloth or a metal vessel, e.g.
a tray, under the printer face,
•
Wash the printer face with
the use of a wash-up atom-
iser.
!
If the printer face is washed in a
different way than that shown
above, then wash-up may get in
to the printer’s movable, bear-
ing-based parts or inner elec-
tronic subassemblies uninten-
tionally. In effect, the roll guides
may seize or ever lockup per-
manently and the (shaft-
encoder) position sensor and
other electronic subassemblies
may get damaged.
6 If the printer remains idle for a
longer period (over 3 weeks), ink
may partially dry in printer com-
ponents. Therefore follow the
storage instructions given below
not to be disappointed when you
try to use your printer afterwards:
•
if the printer has already
been used before, store it
with ink container
10 fas-
tened to it,
•
protect the printer against
dust, dirt, any influence of
aggressive vapours and
gases and excessive tem-
perature and moisture. Ide-
ally, place the printer in a
polyethylene tight bag, re-
move air from the bag and
close it tightly. Then place it
in the packing case.
6 The printer should be stored and
transported in the packing case
delivered with the printer. During
normal operation avoid exposing
the printer to strong mechanical
shocks (protect the printer, espe-
cially nozzles
2 , rolls 1 and 3 and
panel 9 against impact, falling
onto hard surfaces or scratching
with sharp objects).
