2.
Wipe the machine drawer for plastic dust debris from the cap driver / tubes. A new
cartridge can produce minor plastic dust when first used.
3.
Wipe the Light curtain, front and back (image shows rear screen as seen through the front
of system): It is important that the orange filter on the light source is always free of dust, so
it can always effectively identify the rack and cap carriage.

If necessary, use isopropyl alcohol to disinfect and further clean surfaces
Inspect Cartridge
The cartridges used on the IntelliXcap have a limited life, generally expected to be in the region of
5000 cycles.
After every 2500 cycles with a cartridge, the IntelliXcap will give a service counter warning.
Remove the cartridge and visually look for signs of damage / excessive wear and tear. If damage
is seen it will be necessary to replace the cartridge.
In addition, it is recommended to gently wipe the cartridge over with a lint free cloth and a little
isopropyl alcohol to remove any dust that might have accumulated.
