TO DO
before leaving your Roland Printer/Cutter Unattended for an
extended break (more than 2 weeks)
1.
The Roland vinyl printer/cutter machines are precise devices that
require proper care
in order to maintain accuracy and functionality
– which includes performing a
head
wash procedur
e
during extended downtime.
2.
Be sure to have at least the minimum number of
cleaning cartridges
necessary to
perform the head wash and to re-ink the machine when you return in the Fall.
3.
Be sure to
empty your drain bottle
prior to starting the process. Removing ink from
the lines does use a significant amount of drain space, and the bottle cannot be
emptied during the head wash process.
4.
Be sure to dispose of your drain bottle/cartridges properly, adhering to local guidelines.
PERFORM A HEAD WASH PROCEDURE:
1.
F
o
llow the instructions on the f
o
llowing page to
perform a head wash on your printer.
2.
The process does take time, so give yourself an hour or two to complete the procedure.
The overall time will depend on your machine model and dedicated time in front of the
unit.
3.
After the head wash is complete,
store your ink cartridges on a level surface
, and
within a regulated temperature/humidity environment.
4.
Remove any media from the roller, cover any open media rolls to prevent dust buildup.
5.
Turn off the printers Sub Power and Main Power Switch on the back of the Printer.
6.
Unplug
t
he Printer.
Please remember that
failure to do a head wash will cause ink-build up in the system and
could cause problems when returning in the Fall or shortly thereafter
.
