Clearing Clogged Nozzles

Performing Flushing

If the nozzles in the print head are only slightly clogged, perform flushing several times. This may clear the clogged

nozzles.

From the UV Flatbed Controller's shortcut menu, execute [X Reset] to move the carriage

to the reset position in the X direction.

Press [Flush] from the shortcut menu.

If the nozzles are still clogged, perform head cleaning.

Performing Head Cleaning

If the print head is clogged or if clogged nozzles are not cleared by flushing, perform head cleaning.

The head cleaning procedure is the same as for the surface of the print head nozzles and surrounding areas.
