Toolbox
To access the Microboards Toolbox, double-click the
toolbox icon located in the tool tray.
Select the Microboards PF3 and click the buttons to
access a particular maintenance function of the
Toolbox for the selected printer.
The Toolbox should be left running at all times in order
to provide you with low ink warnings. Warnings will still
be provided with the toolbox minimized.

Cleaning

The printheads may require cleaning if the printed images show streaks of color. This may occur if
the Print Factory has been idle for an extended period of time.
There are 3 levels of cleaning available: Wipe and Spit, Clean, and Super Clean.
Wipe and Spit is a low-level cleaning, using the least ink and taking the least amount of time to
complete. Clean uses more ink and takes more time. Super Clean uses the most ink and takes the
longest time to complete.
After each of the cleanings, a disc will be printed to verify the cleaning results.
Running this process more than once may be required if the quality does not improve after cleaning
one time.

Pen Calibration

The print pens may occasionally need calibration.
You will need to have blank discs loaded in the
input hopper for this process.
Press the Pen Calibration button. A disc will
print with 4 sets of numbered lines – Black to
Color Horizontal, Black to Color Vertical, Black
bidi Alignment,
Position the 4 slide bars in the window shown to
the right based on the line number that has the
best alignment in each of the 4 printed sets.
Click OK when complete. The patterns will be
printed again using the entered pen alignment
values.
This procedure should not be a regular necessity.
