Shutdowns of Seven Days or Longer
Flush and thoroughly purge the print head and the IDS3000.
After extended shutdown periods of a week or longer, it may be necessary to flush all print
heads with Diagraph Ink Jet Conditioner, as follows:
1. Begin with the last print head in the system (the one just before the effluent bottle). To
prevent ink drips, enclose the couplings in a clean cloth when changing connections.
Have a cloth handy to wipe up any ink spills.
2. Disconnect the ink line from the female quick disconnect (upper fitting) on the back of
the print head, and attach the Flush Bottle assembly (1902-964).
3. Close the shutoff valve and disconnect the effluent bottle assembly from the male quick
disconnect that terminates the ink-feed line to the print heads.
4. Attach the effluent bottle to the effluent port's male quick disconnect (lower fitting) on
the back of the print head, and open the shutoff valve.
5. Squeeze the flush bottle to force conditioner through the print head. Note the color of
the liquid in the waste line, and continue flushing until it runs clear.
6. Close the shutoff valve and disconnect the effluent bottle and flush bottle assemblies.
7. Re-attach the ink line to the print head and purge the print head until ink is again flow-
ing to the orifices.
8. Repeat steps 2 through 7 for each print head in the system.
Store the effluent bottle where it cannot be knocked over or damaged. When the effluent
bottle is full, dispose of the waste in accordance with local, state and federal regulations.
Spare Print Heads
Diagraph recommends that spare print heads be circulated into operation on a regular
basis. Rotate the print heads every couple of months to keep them performing up to expec-
tations. Rotating spare print heads prevents hardening of internal components, making
startup much easier. Before returning a spare print head to the shelf, be sure to thoroughly
flush with Diagraph Ink Jet Conditioner.
