Replace UV Lamp Filter
Introduction
The printer has two UV lamp assemblies, one on each side of the carriage, to cure the UV ink
during printing. The filters in these UV lamp assemblies have a limited lifetime and must be
replaced by the operator to prolong the life of the bulb and maximize curing efficiency.
When to do
These filters should be changed every two weeks.
Before you begin
It is recommended to wear gloves when handling dirty lamp filters due to the possibility of
partially cured ink deposits.
Failure to replace dirty filters will result in lamps operating at a higher temperature causing
premature failures of internal components and lamp bulbs.
How to Replace the UV Lamp Filter
It is not necessary to shut the printer power off the while replacing the UV lamp filters. However,
make sure you turn the lamps off by de-selecting the lamp icon in the user interface before you
start and allow a few minutes for the bulbs to cool down.
NOTE
Wear cotton or nitrile gloves when handling UV lamp filters. Avoid bare skin contact with UV
lamp filters that are contaminated with partially cured ink.
Procedure
1. From the User Interface, deselect the lamp icon to turn the lamps off and allow to cool for 5
minutes.
2. Lift the magnetic lamp filter cover off of the lamp housing.
