Warranty Claims
The printer is covered by a manufacturer’s limited warranty,
which includes the printheads. The piezo printheads are
designed to remain in service for the life of the printer.
The printer incorporates many automatic and manual features
for preventing clogs from occurring, and for recovering inkjets
that do become clogged (see “Recover Missing Ink Jets” on
page 5-7). The warranty terms require that the maintenance pro-
cedures contained in this
User Manual are followed prior to clas-
sifying a printhead anomaly as a “printhead failure.”
A printhead failure is defined as any printhead that develops one
or more individual jets that do not fire
and that cannot be recov-
ered or replaced (“mapped out”) by the AutoJet or Manual Jet
Mapping software when printing in Production Mode. If the jet(s)
can be mapped out by the software in Production Mode, the
printhead is deemed to be working satisfactorily and is not con-
sidered to have a failure.
In the event of a printhead failure as defined above, the cause
and/or circumstances that lead to the failure must be identified.
The following is a list of causes and/or circumstances that may
lead to printhead failure. This list is not considered comprehen-
sive, and any causes and/or circumstances that are not identi-
fied in this list will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
All printheads submitted for warranty claims will be subjected to
failure analysis to confirm the cause of failure. The final determi-
nation of warranty applicability will be provided by this analysis.

Services (see page ii for contact information).
