Section 3: Maintenance and Shutdowns
Following are the recommended maintenance procedures to keep the ResMark 5000 High-Resolution system printing cleanly and efficiently.
System Maintenance
Intermittent (as required):
1. Be sure the photosensor is clean and free of debris.
2. Be sure the nuts and bolts holding the bracketry in place remain tight.
3. Ensure all cable connections are secure but not overtightened.
4. Adjust Printer Module level and throw distance as necessary.
Annually:
Clean the encoder and review the wheel for excess wear.
Printer Module Maintenance
Daily / Shift Startup / Periodic
Wear safety goggles when working with industrial inks or solutions!
The majority of print quality degradation is due to excessive debris deposits on the
print head orifice plate that disrupt the ink droplet path. For best preventative
maintenance practices, do the following:
1. Remove excessive debris build-up (corrugate dust, glue strands, and the like) on and
around the front of the print head by using maintenance spray (5760695) on a clean lint-
free cloth (6600171) and wiping the front plate and enclosure. If debris build-up is noted
on the enclosure and rear of the print head, then wipe those clean too.
NOTE: DO NOT SPRAY MAINTENANCE SPRAY DIRECTLY ON THE PRINTER MODULE OR ANYWHERE NEAR THE ORIFICE PLATE
.
2. Using a sponge swab (5760832), rub the orifice plate
lightly
from top down in a vertical direction while ink is flowing during a clean cycle. The
Clean / Prime
button is located on the rear of the print head. DO NOT USE n-Propanol directly on the orifice plate.
3. Press the
Clean / Prime
button one more time to ensure channel priming, but do not swab this time.
4. Wipe the front plate with a clean lint-free cloth to remove any excess ink.
