Replacing the PIP 141
4 Gently pull the PIP out of its protective cover. Wipe the cartridge clean with a lint-free
wipe soaked in imaging oil. This prevents particles from being transferred from the
cartridge to the PIP. Pull out the leading edge about 10 cm (4 inches). Remove the
self-adhesive pull-tab.
CAUTION Always protect the exposed PIP from direct light.
5 Insert the leading edge of the PIP into the slot all the way. Push it in until the edge is
felt against the inner wall when sliding it from side to side. Adjust the PIP inside the
holder so that the three black mark-lines in the PIP are parallel with the holder lip.
Center the PIP between the drum shoulders.
6 Lock the PIP latch (see Figure 10-7).
7 Press the PIP against the drum. Make sure the PIP’s edges are parallel with the drum
shoulders. If the shoulders are not parallel, remove the PIP and reinsert it properly.
8 Hold the PIP away from the drum. Using the squeezer bottle, apply imaging oil
generously to cover the entire visible section of the PIP underlayer. Moving the nozzle
from side to side, squirt the imaging oil on the top section of the drum. Make sure that
a continuous layer of fluid forms. Apply imaging oil liberally. Drops dripping from the
sides are good for the drum. However, make sure no drops reach the blanket.
Note Periodically clean the imaging oil squeezer bottle using imaging oil.
9 Hold the PIP cartridge with your right hand. Press the Inching button to advance the
PIP drum until the a new dry section of the PIP underlayer is in view. Make sure that
there is no contact between the PIP foil and the ITM drum.
Note When the exit door is open, the Inching button on the feed door control pad is disabled.
