4.6.16.5 Wiper cleaning action
The wipers come into use during standard and intensive cleaning process-
es, and can be adjusted individually for each print head under the tab
Job\Cleaning
.
During the cleaning process, first the print head unit is pulled into its park-
ing position at the rear of the printer. This is where all of the print heads se-
lected previously are rinsed out with ink for a few seconds. While the print
head unit is being moved back into its working position, each wiper will stay
flipped up as long as it is beneath a print head that has just been rinsed.
The ink that is wiped off the print heads flows down the wipers into the col-
lection pan.
Each wiper unit consists of three main parts, each of which occurs in a pair:
– rubber wiper,
– pivoting wiper holder,
– pneumatic cylinder for the drive.
Each of these components occurs in a pair, because the print heads are ar-
ranged as an offset pair for each color of ink.
