Start periodic maintenance
Introduction
Start periodic maintenance when the operator panel gives a warning.
Periodic maintenance contains a variety of mandatory maintenance actions and the possibility to
print a nozzle optimization chart to optimize the nozzles.
IMPORTANT
You must perform all periodic maintenance actions when indicated, otherwise the printer
functions are not guaranteed.
Procedure
1. On the operator panel tap on the [Tools] icon on the right.
2. Tap on [Periodic maintenance].
3. When you want to print nozzle optimization charts to optimize the nozzles:
1. Make sure [Automatic nozzle optimization] is selected.
2. Select a roll to print the nozzle optimization charts on.
NOTE
The nozzle optimization chart can only be printed on media of one of the following
categories:
• Heavy paper > 200 gsm (54 lb bond)
• Paper 120-200 gsm (32-54 lb bond)
• Film
• Self-adhesive vinyl
• Thick film > 200 um (0.0079 inch)
On the other media categories, these procedures cannot be performed.
When no roll is loaded with one of the above mentioned categories, no roll will be
indicated for the automatic nozzle optimization.
Use a media width that is as large as possible and larger than 840 mm (33 inch) in
order to get the best optimization results.
The [Automatic nozzle optimization] takes about 10 minutes. The printer will print two
charts and optimize the print quality.
4. Tap on [Start].
