Empty Ink Waste Trays
Introduction
There are two waste trays. The Purge Waste Tray is located under the Maintenance station. It
catches ink purged from either Manual maintenance or Automated printhead maintenance. The
Spit Waste Tray is located below the ink spit catcher. It accumulates waste ink from printhead
spitting.
[97] 1 = Purge Waste Tray 2 = Spit Waste Tray
When to do
Empty both waste trays weekly.
CAUTION
Both ink waste trays contain uncured ink. For safety reasons, it is necessary to wear nitrile
gloves, a lab coat and safety glasses with side shields to protect users from contacting the ink.
UV-curable inks contain chemicals which can lead to sensitization with prolonged or repeated
exposure to skin. These chemicals inside the UV ink can begin to penetrate the gloves in less
than 10 minutes. Since they have no pigment, exposure is not obvious. Therefore, Océ
recommends that only approved nitrile gloves are used for a maximum of 10 minutes after
being contaminated with ink and never reused. Damaged gloves should be changed
immediately (see the Maintenance Guidelines section and Safety chapter for more details on
the recommended nitrile gloves). .
NOTE
Although the carriage is oriented so that the nozzles spit into the slots in the spit catcher, some
ink will find its way onto the flat surfaces. Open the maintenance drawer to check the surface of
the spit catcher daily. If you see any ink wipe it up with a clean cloth or paper towel.
