  It is recommended that the outer 

face of the print head, especially 
the nozzle plate 

2

, and possibly 

the guide roll

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 containe

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

, rolls

 against impact, falling 

onto hard surfaces or scratching 
with sharp objects).
