The Ink Flush Procedure
The Ink Flush Procedure is used when the printer is switched from one ink type to an-
other. If you insert a new ink bag of a different ink type into the ink bay, the Ink Status
screen will appear and prompt you to perform an Ink Flush Procedure. The Ink Flush
Procedure will prompt you to perform either:
1) Short flush procedure - this is performed when switching to a compatible ink type; or
2) Full flush procedure - this is performed when switching to a an ink type that is not
compatible with the current ink used. In this case an ink flush kit is required.
Note:
Contact your local service representative for information about this ink flush kit. Only
inks certified by Océ can be used with your printer.
Spit Catcher Alignment Procedure
A Spit Catcher is necessary for all printers with the white ink option installed or for any
printer that uses the Océ ICJ256 inks. The Spit Catcher consists of a slotted cover for
the Maintenance Station drawer and a foam pad that is held in place under the drawer.
Both the white ink and all of the IJC256 inks need to "spit" periodically to help keep the
printhead nozzles clear of debris. The Alignment Procedure is needed when the Spit
Catcher is first installed or if for some reason the park position of the carriage changes.
The purpose of the alignment is to have the carriage parked directly over the slots in the
spit catcher so that the ink that is spit falls though the slots and is soaked up by the foam
pad below. If you see a buildup of ink on the surface of the spit catcher it may mean you
need to follow the alignment procedure.
Note:
The foam pad must be changed if it becomes too saturated with ink. It is a commercial
item so see your local representative for replacements.
