How To Perform Maintenance
1.
Verify that the ink temperature is at least 40° Centigrade (140° Fahrenheit) before
you begin printhead maintenance.
2.
Slide the cover out from under the carriage to reveal the maintenance station.
3.
Press and release switch 1 to initiate a purge. The carriage will lower to its purge
height (4mm above the table surface). Watch the ink as it falls from the heads. After
a few seconds most of the ink stops dripping and you can then raise the carriage.
4.
Press switch 2 to raise the carriage to its maximum height.
Attention: Be careful not to snag the coiled suction-head hose when removing
the suction-head from the holder.
5.
Press switch 3 to turn on the suction pump. Pick up the suction-head from the tray at
the left end of the maintenance station. Wipe the suction-head with a new, clean
lint-free wipe to remove any particles that could damage the nozzles in the
printheads.
