15. Maintenance when needed
(1) Cleaning of the LED UV unit
Remove ink or dust attached to the LED UV periodically.
(2) Removal of ink attached to the table
If necessary, remove ink attached to the table with an alcohol-impregnated cloth. Be careful not to scratch the
table face when removing cured ink.
(3) Removal of the vacuum hole clogging on the table
The vacuum holes on the table can be clogged with ink. Remove the ink in the vacuum holes when needed.
Be careful not to leave a part of cured ink on the table.
(4) Cleaning of the bottom of the carriage
Remove ink attached to the bottom of the carriage.
(5) Cleaning of the print head nozzle face with a cleaning swab
When an image is printed on a special media, or when this machine is not used for a long time, the nozzle
may not be cleaned only with a normal cleaning.
Soak a specified cleaning swab into the washing liquid, and wipe out things adhered on the nozzle face.
Perform this work under the direction of our service engineer.
(6) Maintenance of Optional Ionizer
For the maintenance, refer to Instruction Manual of Ionizer.
A proper maintenance schedule is determined by the operator who observes throughout a period of
use of the printer.
• Some media need maintenance every time of printing.
• The maintenance schedule differs depending on the image to be printed. For example, when the image is
almost filled, perform maintenance frequently.
• Clean the LED UV with care in order not to scratch an irradiation part on the bottom of the unit. If there is
a certain amount of dirt or a light shielding object on the irradiation part, ink may not cure well and it may
cause banding.
Caution when using solvent
• Leaving the table after attachment of ink may make the ink removal hard with alcohol only. When using a
special solvent, contact our office before use. It may cause a failure of the machine.
