Maintenance Guidelines
Introduction
The printer operator is responsible for the regular maintenance of the printer. This section
provides detailed information about what is required for proper printer maintenance.
While Océ Display Graphics Systems furnishes guidelines for periodic maintenance, the
optimum maintenance schedule evolves from careful observation of your printer over a
period of use. For example, some specified maintenance may be required each time you
use a particular media. The type of print job can also determine the maintenance schedule.
If the printer produces a high volume of solid fill prints, it requires more tending than if
it prints low-coverage images. Océ Display Graphics Systems requires that the operator
follows minimum cleaning and replacement guidelines as described in this User Manual.
A few minutes spent cleaning helps to ensure the highest quality prints. Each production
situation is different and involves different types of print jobs, environmental conditions,
duty cycles, and volume of work. While we provide guidelines for periodic maintenance,
the optimum maintenance schedule depends on operator observation of the printer over
a period of use.
Attention:
Keeping the printer clean, especially all parts associated with the printheads, assures that
your printer performs at its optimum and makes it easier to diagnose a problem, such as
a leak. Daily cleaning of all mechanical parts on the printer is highly recommended.
Who Should Do Maintenance?
If your site has a technician in charge of machine maintenance, that person is the optimal
candidate. While routine maintenance may be performed by any trained operator, the
best maintenance results from familiarity with the printer's internal operation and history.
Operator Maintenance Schedule
Your printer requires regular maintenance. Periodic cleaning should be scheduled for
some components during the week. A few minutes spent cleaning ensures the highest
quality prints. Several areas require maintenance to ensure the highest print quality, and
the printer design gives you easy access to all these areas. Diligent application of the
maintenance schedule ensures optimum performance from your printer.
