Fig. 4 Encoder ruler
Scratching the encoder ruler (1) reduces the functionality of the printer.
Do not touch the encoder ruler with hard objects.

14.4 Media

Unsuitable media can cause a collision with the print carriage.
Examples:
 Bent sheet metal
 Media with uneven surfaces
 Media with insufficient temperature stability
 Media with ribs or ridges
Do not load media which could cause a collision.

14.5 Purge

Incorrect cleaning of the slots on the nozzle plate can cause print heads
to dry out. This will lead to decreased printing quality or even the failure of
individual nozzles.
Due to soiling on the nozzle plate, the ink can be smeared on the printed
medium.
Soiled filters and soiling on the conveyor belt can lead to malfunctioning of
the exhaust and ventilation. This can cause the following damage:
Failure of electronic components

 Overheating of the UV lamps
 Damage to the conveyor belt via overheating
Soiling on the rubber rollers and on the encoder ruler reduce print quality.
