Step 3: Printing Tests And Normal Cleaning; Perform A Printing Test On Media For Testing - Roland VersaUV LEF-200 First Step Manual

STEP 3: Printing Tests and
Normal Cleaning
Check for dot drop-out by performing
printing tests before and after daily
operations. If dot drop-out occurs, perform
cleaning of the print heads (normal cleaning).
Leaving the dot drop-out untreated may
damage the print heads, so be sure to check
for this condition each day after operation.
* Dot drop-out is a condition where dust
or other foreign matter adheres to the
print heads and interferes with normal ink
emission.
1. Perform a Printing Test on Media
for Testing
1.
Remove just the white ink cartridge, shake
it 50 times (about 15 seconds), and then
reinsert this cartridge.
NOTE
The components in the white ink have a
tendency to precipitate. If ink components
precipitate, it will not be possible to print
with correct colors. So that the ink mixes
well, shake the ink cartridge horizontally
with a stroke length of around 5 cm (2 in.)
from each end of the ink cartridge.
The deposits may harden and cause
problems including printer malfunctions if
left alone for an extended period of time.

light to enable visual checking.
