10 MAINTENANCE
The X-series printers are designed specifically for robust operation. Key to ensuring optimal operation and
extended life is appropriate maintenance. It is important to inspect the printer visually and check the print
quality both on a regular basis.
The periods of maintenance are based on an average factory environment in which the printers are installed.
Depending on the actual circumstances the periods of maintenance may vary.
This section covers the routinely maintenance that can be easily performed by the user.
10.1 Quick and regular checks
Inspect the printer visually and check the print quality both on a regular basis.
Daily or weekly maintenance is only necessary when, due to the printing environment, the same problems
occur regularly. Do NOT clean the nozzle plate of the printhead if the prints are just fine. Refer to chapter 9
for setting up a custom maintenance plan, to minimize problems.
10.2
Nozzle maintenance
1.
Put on protection gloves and use safety goggles for personal protection.
2.
Purge the printhead. Refer to subsection 8.5.1. The nozzle will be cleaned of small particles.
3.
Spray with the spout of the solvent bottle some solvent on the front and nozzle plates. Let the
solvent flow off of the front and nozzle plates, taking with it most of the ink and particles.
CAUTION:
Use ONLY special foam swabs and GJ solvent.
Do NOT use cotton buds, the micro fibres will obstruct or damage the nozzles of the printhead.
4.
Use a foam swab to clean the nozzles (Fig. 10.1) for excessive particles and ink. Wipe the nozzles
gently, only ONCE, from top to bottom. Avoid that ink or debris particles are wiped into the
nozzles.
CAUTION:
Perform the actions near and on the printhead nozzle plate with special care to prevent damage to
the printhead nozzle plate.
Fig. 10.1 Cleaning the nozzle plate
5.
Take a clean cloth, if necessary with some solvent, and gently wipe off all excessive ink and
particles from the printhead housing. Take care that the excessive ink and particles are NOT wiped
in the grooves of the nozzle plates.
