5.1.3 Cleaning the cleaning pad
Located on the left side of the MultiMax 6ds is a printhead cleaning pad. The printer
cleans the head periodically on this pad. It is possible that after a while some dust will
accumulate on this pad. Therefore it is advised to clean this pad from time to time.
To clean the cleaning pad, proceed as follows:
1
Take a piece of scrap vinyl that is a bit larger than the cleaning pad. Remove
the backing and stick it on the cleaning pad.
2
Gently apply equal pressure on the vinyl, pressing the adhesive on the pad.
3
Remove the vinyl and check the back of the vinyl. If it is dirty do the procedure
again, until the vinyl does not show dirt from the cleaning pad.
If the cleaning pad starts turning white, it is worn out and should be replaced.
The cleaning plate should be cleaned every week or after each change of roll
vinyl which ever come first. Every five rolls of vinyl, the cleaning pad should be
replaced (or turned once – mark used side so it is not used twice).
Using not approved material can raise the need to perform these actions.
Cleaning pad should be changed if the printhead is changed.
