ADJUSTING TIP WIPE HEIGHTS
The tip wipe assembly contains two flicker/brush assemblies which are used to keep tips and tip shields free of
purged material debris and buildup. The flicker cleans the tip's opening, while the brush cleans the tip shield.
After changing one or both tips, you must manually adjust tip wipe heights to ensure proper placement of the
flicker/brush assemblies in relation to tips/tip shields.
1.
Open the canister bay doors and stand facing the front of the printer so that you can see the tip
wipe assembly through the purge chute access plate window.

Press the Go to Purge Position button; the head will move to the purge position.

Press the Wipe Tips button. After a few seconds the head will begin to move back and forth,
slowly passing the model and support tips over the flicker/brush assemblies.
•
The head will make 4 passes. With each pass, the head gradually moves horizontally across the
flicker to ensure proper adjustment and even wear.
5.
Observe placement via the purge chute access plate window and using the Tip Wipe Height
Adjustment Wheels, adjust tip wipe height for the replaced tip(s).
•
Top wheel corresponds to model tip, bottom wheel corresponds to support tip.
•
Rolling a wheel down will move the corresponding flicker/brush assembly downward (away from tip/
tip shield) and vice versa.
Note: It is recommended that you first move the flicker/brush assembly upward,
until extreme contact with the tip shield is made. Then, gradually move the
flicker/brush assembly downward until proper placement is achieved.
