UV Lamp Check
A heat-sensitive label is fixed to the UV lamp covers as a warning against
overheating. Its center changes from white to black if the temperature of the
cover reaches 65°C (150°F). If this occurs, do not use the printer, and call your
service provider. As a precaution, it is recommended that you check the label
before and after printing.

If the UV lamp continues to overheat, and the temperature around the lamp
reaches 90°C (194°F), a heat fuse turns off the electricity to the power to the
UV lamp and the motors for the X, Y, and Z axes. In the unlikely event that
this occurs, the printer cannot be used until it is serviced by an authorized
service engineer.
Cleaning the Print Heads and the Roller
Periodic inspection and cleaning of the orifice plates on the bottom of the print
block ensures that the print nozzles are not clogged. A wizard guides you
through the procedure, and adjusts components of the printer to enable you to
perform it. This procedure takes about 20 minutes, and should be done at the
beginning of the work day or before a big printing job.
