Viewing The Estimated Remaining Bulb Life; Replacing The Uv Lamp Cartridge - Gerber SOLARA UV2 Owner's Manual

CHAPTER 6
Routine Printer Maintenance

Viewing the estimated remaining bulb life

You can check the estimated remaining bulb life using the Lamps command.
Note: Frequent on/off cycles significantly reduce bulb life. Each lamp on/lamp off cycle reduces
bulb life by three hours. Lamps are automatically turned off one minute after a job completes
unless another job is started during that period. Queue multiple jobs to extend lamp life. See
"Printing multiple jobs" on page 81.
To check the estimated remaining bulb life
1 From the MAIN MENU press F4, Operate to open the OPERATION menu.
2 Press F3, Lamps to display the ESTIMATED LAMP-HOURS menu.
3 The estimated usable hours that remain on each bulb (left and right) is shown on the
F4 line. In the previous illustration, there are approximately 1276 lamp-hours
remaining on the left and right bulbs.
4 Press ENTER to return to the MAIN MENU.

Replacing the UV lamp cartridge

After extended use the UV bulbs deteriorate, curing effectiveness is reduced, and the UV lamp
cartridge must be replaced. If you do not replace the UV lamps, Gerber disclaims any liability
for ink curing failures.
CAUTION: FAILURE TO REPLACE THE UV LAMP CARTRIDGES WHEN THEY
HAVE REACHED THEIR LIFE EXPECTANCY MAY RESULT IN INADEQUATE
CURING OF INKS. THE INADEQUATE CURING MAY NOT BE VISIBLE, BUT
COULD RESULT IN PRINTED IMAGE FAILURE AT ANY TIME. GERBER IS
NOT LIABLE FOR PRINTED IMAGE FAILURES THAT RESULT FROM FAILING
TO COMPLY WITH RECOMMENDED UV LAMP CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT.
