Cleaning the Printhead

The printhead may be cleaned at any time during printer operations. The
printhead should be cleaned under the following circumstances:
• Before printing, when the POC is bypassed
• After every 8 hours of run time
• When the printhead bottom cover is cleaned
• When the printhead is dirty
• When required by the procedure being performed.
To perform a printhead clean, press [CLEAN PRINTHEAD]. The fluid
system powers down and the eyelid closes. When the cleaning cycle is
complete, [CLEAN PRINTHEAD] goes off and [STANDBY] comes on,
indicating the fluid system is on.
