9) Maintenance Daily printhead maintenance consists of an ink purge and suction
Station cleaning of the printheads. The maintenance station cover is slid
open to access the printheads and the suction nozzle. The main-
tenance station is located under the carriage. Maintenance is per-
formed when the carriage is parked at the end of the gantry.
10) Coolant The coolant reservoir is mounted at the service access end of the
Reservoir gantry. The operator has the ability to refill the reservoir and to
monitor the level of coolant at this location. See Maintenance
section for instructions.
11) Ink Filters The ink filters ensure that ink flows easily and is free of particu-
and Ink Bay late matter. These filters must be changed periodically to ensure
that they are working efficiently. See the Maintenance section,
How to Change Ink Filters for a schedule and instructions.
The Ink Bay contains 2 liter bags of each color (CMYK) of ink.
The ink bay is located under the table in the corner where media
is loaded. ID tags ensure the correct ink color is installed in the
correct location and that expired ink is not installed. A warning
is issued to the operator when a specific ink bag is empty and
needs to be replaced.
12) Control This panel contains all of the receptacles for connections from
Station Panel the printer to the Operator Control Station. This includes power
and video for the LCD display, an Ethernet network cable plug
for communication and data transfer from the host computer, a
cable to the Emergency stop and a USB cable for the mouse on
the Control Station.
(13) UV Lamps Two UV lamp are housed in cartridges to cure the ink. UV amps
have a finite life and must be changed periodically.
(14) Carriage The Carriage Guard protects the Operator from exposure to UV
Guard light and it also protects the lamps and the carriage by stopping
all motion if it encounters an obstacle in the path of the carriage.
(15) Ink Valves Carriage Ink valves can be shut off to avoid ink drips when the
printer is turned off. They also allow longer purges to select
printheads (those not shut off).
(16) Waste The waste ink tray is located below the printhead maintenance
Tray station. A manual valve allows the operator to drain the waste ink
to a portable container for disposal .
