Cleaning The Ink Discharge Passage [Disway Wash] - MIMAKI JV5-130S Operation Manual

CHAPTER 4 Daily Maintenance

Cleaning the ink discharge passage [DISWAY WASH]

Use this function when the [PUMP TUBE WASH] function cannot be used.
There may be a chance that the ink discharge passage can be clogged with coagulated ink. To avoid clogging,
clean the ink discharge passage once a week.
Be sure to wear the supplied goggle and gloves.
The ink contains an organic solvent. If ink settles on your skin, immediately
wash it off with water. If you get ink in your eyes, immediately wash your eyes
with a lot of clean water for at least 15 minutes. In doing so, also wash the back-
side of eyelids to rinse ink away completely. Then, consult a doctor as soon as
possible.
Do not move the carriage out of the capping station by hand. Select the
[ST.MAINTENANCE] function to move the carriage.
First make sure that the pump is not clogged. If the pump is clogged, the clean-
ing function does not work normally. When the [DISWAY WASH] function is exe-
cuted, there may be a case where the cleaning liquid keeps staying in the caps
without flowing out. In such a case, the pump may be clogged. If the pump is
clogged, contact your dealer or a sales office of MIMAKI.
