Capping Station Maintenance
The capping station (see Figure 5-6) consists of a single plate with 24 small saturated foam
pads (OIN #3011924173). The station is used to cap and preserve the print-head nozzles
when the printer is idle between images. The cleaning solution/fluid is pumped up to the
plate to provide continuous saturation to the pads to prevent the solvent ink from drying
on the nozzles.
The capping station has funnel-shaped sections with drain holes for each of the print heads.
During daily printing operations, purges ensure nozzle integrity before and during prints.
The ink is sucked away through a manifold and into a single tube down to the waste bottle.
Over time, the bottle fills and must be emptied. Notification is via the control panel.
