How To

Use the 7900 Food Grade 
Printer

Li

nx 7900

A cleaning kit is available from Linx (order as FA69035, 6800EC and 6900FG Cleaning Kit). 
This kit contains safety eyeglasses, latex gloves, hand cleaning cream, a solvent wash bottle, 
a beaker for used solvent, and foam swabs.

The procedure described only applies to Linx Red food grade ink 6100 and Linx Blue 
food grade ink 6120.

Linx food grade solvent 6600 can take up to 20 minutes to dry completely. The 
printhead must be completely dry before the printer is started.

To keep delays to a minimum, clean the printhead at the end of a work shift.

If ink causes a blockage in the nozzle, use the Nozzle Clear sequence or Nozzle Flush 
sequence, as shown in the 

Linx 5900 & 7900 Quick Start Guide

. The printhead must be 

completely dry before the printer is started.

3.2 To clean the printhead

1

Stop and power down the printer, as shown on page 4.

2

Loosen the securing screw of the printhead cover tube, then slide the cover off.

3

Mount the printhead on a washstation or hold the printhead over a beaker or 
suitable container, as shown in Figure 4.
