DOC-07027 Rev. I
Description
Checks the control of voltages
supplied to the print heads.
Tests the heaters in the print heads
and in the print-block body.
Checks if the following voltages are
within 5% of the required voltage:
• 40V to the print heads by the VPP
power supply
• 12V to the height thermistors by
the VDD power supply
Tests each UV lamp at the High
Quality power level.
Tests the hardware and software
limits of all axes.
Analyzes the thermistor readings
when the block is full and when it is
empty.
comparing readings from multiple
runs along the X-axis.
Tests the vacuum level in the print
block.
Tests the interlock in the printer
cover.
Checks the compatibility between
the software and component
firmware versions.
