Inspecting the Service Station

The Service Station cleans Printhead Cartridge of excess ink and debris, keeps Printhead hydrated and protected
when not in use, and captures and removes ink used to keep nozzles clear. It moves out of the way of the Printhead
during printing. With proper periodic maintenance, it is designed to provide a long service life.
To access the Service Station for inspection and cleaning:
1. Using the Touchscreen, select "Menu" then
tap "Maintenance" from the drop-down menu.
Tap "Inspect Sled". The Service Station
moves out from under the Printhead Assembly.
2. Open the Printhead Door.
NOTE: If you don't open the Printhead Door
within 30 seconds, to stop the countdown
timer, the Printhead will automatically raise,
and the Service Station Sled will return to the
cap position when the "Inspect Timeout" value
reaches zero.
4. The Service Station can now be
inspected. Visually inspect Service
Station for possible cleaning or
service needs.
Use a dry, lint-free cloth to soak up
any excess ink from the Wiper
Motor Assembly [A] and Capping
Station [B].
Don't wipe or rub the Wiper Roller.
Damage to the wiper roller surface
may result.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the Printhead
Door open during inspection. This will pause
the "Inspect Timeout" count-down timer.
Once the Printhead Door is shut, the system
will automatically End Inspection.
Be careful that you don't accidently press
"End Inspection", with the Printhead Door
open. Doing so may cause damage or injury if
your hands are not clear of this area.
5. Close the Printhead Door. The printer will
automatically End Inspection and move the
Service Station back under the Printhead Assembly.
NOTE: If you see anything wrong with any of the Service Station components (Wiper Roller, Wiper Motor
Assembly or Capping Station) or you continue to experience image quality issues (missing nozzles, color mixing,
etc.), please contact your service representative so that they can perform Service Station maintenance.
See section titled "Service Station Maintenance" for details.
