Cleaning the roll-to-roll platen
Occasionally examine the roll-to-roll platen (if the printer is equipped with one) for a build-up
of cured ink. Carefully remove the ink build-up with a straight-edge razor blade.
Cleaning the ink drawers
CAUTION: Use impervious gloves to protect your hands. Nitrile gloves of no less
than 8 mils have proven impervious for one hour of exposure. Gloves should be
disposed of after one hour of exposure time. Wear safety goggles to protect your
eyes. Dispose of used gloves according to local laws and regulations.
When ever you replace ink pouches wipe up any dripped or spilled ink from the bottom of the
ink drawer with an all-purpose wipe and dispose of wipe according to local laws and
regulations. It is normal to have drips of ink from the ink pouch located in the drawer above.
Cleaning the Maintenance Shelf Mat
As needed, the rubber Maintenance Shelf Mat can be sprayed lightly with isopropyl alcohol and
then blotted dry with an all-purpose wipe.
NOTE: A color shift may be noticeable over time.
Cleaning the X axis belts
Periodically, the X axis belts along sides of printer should be checked for and cleared of any
debris that may be present, using a soft lint-ree cloth. This will help ensure proper operation.
Cleaning the outside of the Gerber CAT | UV
As needed, the covers of the Gerber CAT|UV can be wiped down with a soft lint-free cloth to
