Page 63 Maintenance User Manual DC500L Series DIKAI Maintenance Nozzle cleaning and maintenance Nozzle cleaning Cleaning the nozzle is usually not recommended, only after the nozzle is blocked, and cleaning the nozzle risks damaging the nozzle. 1. Do a good job of protecting the nozzle circuit before cleaning the nozzle head.
Page 64 Maintenance User Manual DC500L Series DIKAI Common problem troubleshooting Hardware unconnected The indicator of the port connecting the nozzle module to the computer is off. 1. After the power is off, reinsert the network cable (Category 7 shielded) or 29PIN cable to ensure that the network cable is properly connected.
Page 65 Maintenance User Manual DC500L Series DIKAI Double imaging in printing Check whether the nozzle plane is parallel to the surface of the printed object. The two surfaces of the nozzle plane must be kept parallel (such as A=B=C=D in the left figure), and the high-resolution nozzle is often spliced by multiple rows of nozzle holes.
Page 66 Maintenance User Manual DC500L Series DIKAI Poor treatment of printing effect The relevant reasons for the poor printing effect are as follows, excluded one by one. 1. The nozzle hole is blocked, mainly due to curing lamp irradiation, long-term exposure to the air of the nozzle, external damage of the nozzle surface, the use of unqualified or expired ink, the nozzle contact with other chemical liquids, the circuit aging or damage.
Page 67 Maintenance User Manual DC500L Series DIKAI No printing process Non-printing caused by incorrect hardware and software Settings. 1. Place a piece of white paper under the nozzle, according to the software "flash spray", observe whether there is ink spray marks on the white paper, if there is, it can be determined that the hardware and software Settings are not correct caused by the printing.
Page 68 Maintenance User Manual DC500L Series DIKAI 3. If no ink is displayed after performing step 2, check whether the inkjet software is connected. If no ink is displayed, perform the "Inkjet software Display Hardware is not connected" command to ensure that the software is connected.
