5.1.6 Cleaning the printing surface
The printing surface is very delicate. It is made out of cellular material. Oil and moisture
from fingers damages the surface, therefore great care should be taken when the
printing surface is uncovered. DO NOT TOUCH SURFACE. In rare cases it might be
necessary to clean the printing surface. It is not recommended to do it, but sometimes it
is the only safe way to remove dirt.
To clean the printing surface, proceed as follows:
1.
Power off the MultiMax 6ds and remove the vinyl.
2.
Cut a piece of vinyl, the size of the printing surface (1 x 0.14m) and stick it
onto the printing surface.
3.
Power on the MultiMax 6ds and load the media. Print out a rectangle full
width and height, consisting out of two colors app 20% coverage.
5.1.7 Cleaning the OptiTrac™ sensor
The sensor will collect dust. Therefore, the small hole in the sensor should be cleaned
regularly with a cotton-tipped swab.
Cleaning the OptiTrac™ sensor system:
1
Locate the hole in the sensor holder at the right side of the printer carriage.
2
Clean by wiping it out with cotton swabs.
4.
Carefully remove the vinyl from the printing surface. This test has been done
with Max Meyer white vinyl. Do not attempt to use any other vinyl to clean
the printing surface. The reaction of the adhesive on the printing surface
might damage it. Do not leave the vinyl on the printing surface longer than is
necessary for this test.
5.
Remove the media from the MultiMax 6ds and turn off the power.
