APPENDIX
Replacing Wiper Roller:
This procedure should only be used if you plan to replace the Wiper Roller without replacing the Printhead.
NOTE: When a Printhead is replaced, it is assumed that a new Wiper Roller is also installed at that time. During the
printhead priming process the new Wiper Roller is automatically conditioned (hydrated).
If you replaced the Wiper Roller as part of the service station component removal and cleaning process, please
follow the "Condition New Wiper Roller" procedure.
1. Using the Touchscreen, select "Menu," and tap "Wiper" from the drop-down menu. Tap "New Wiper".
The Service Station Sled moves out from under the Printhead Carriage.
NOTE: This will also reset the Wiper Roller service life count to "0".
2. Open the Printhead Door.
3. Release the Wiper Roller [A] by pushing the
non-geared end toward the Capping Station
[B]. This will pop it out of the bracket.
Then lift the Wiper Roller out of the Wiper
Roller Assembly.
4. Remove protective covering from new Wiper
Roller.
5. Install new Wiper Roller.
Make sure gear on Roller engages gear in
Wiper Motor Assembly. Carefully snap Roller
back into place.
6. Close the Printhead Door.
The printer will run a "printhead priming"
routine which will condition (hydrate) the new Wiper Roller.
Condition New Wiper Roller
If you installed a new Wiper Roller during the Service Station Maintenance process, please use the following
process to condition (hydrate) the new wiper roller, so it performs properly.
NOTE: This process also resets the wiper rollers service life count to zero.
1. Using the Touchscreen, select "Menu," and tap "Wiper" from the drop-down menu.
Tap "New Wiper". The Service Station Sled moves out from under the Printhead Carriage.
2. Open the Printhead Door.
NOTE: Normally you would use this opportunity to remove the old Wiper Roller and install a new Wiper
Roller. However, since the new Wiper Roller is already installed, you can just proceed to the next step.
3. Close the Printhead Door. The printer will run a "printhead priming" routine which also conditions
(hydrates) the new Wiper Roller.
