Maintenance Guidelines
Introduction
The Arizona 200/250 GT operator is responsible for the regular maintenance of the
printer. This section provides detailed information about what is required for proper
printer maintenance.
While Océ Display Graphics Systems furnishes guidelines for periodic maintenance,
the optimum maintenance schedule evolves from careful observation of your printer
over a period of use. For example, some specified maintenance may be required
each time you use a particular media. The type of print job can also determine the
maintenance schedule. If the printer produces a high volume of solid fill prints, it
requires more tending than if it prints low-coverage images. Océ Display Graphics
Systems requires that the operator follows minimum cleaning and replacement
guidelines as described in this User Manual. A few minutes spent cleaning helps to
ensure the highest quality prints. Each production situation is different and involves
different types of print jobs, environmental conditions, duty cycles, and volume of
work. While we provide guidelines for periodic maintenance, the optimum
maintenance schedule depends on operator observation of the printer over a period
of use.
Attention: Keeping the printer clean, especially all parts associated with the
printheads, assures that your printer performs at its optimum and makes it easier
to diagnose a problem, such as a leak. Daily cleaning of all mechanical parts on
the printer is highly recommended.
Who Should Do Maintenance?
If your site has a technician in charge of machine maintenance, that person is the
optimal candidate. While routine maintenance may be performed by any trained
operator, the best maintenance results from familiarity with the printer's internal
operation and history.
Operator Maintenance Schedule
The Arizona 200/250 GT printer requires regular maintenance. Periodic cleaning
should be scheduled for some components during the week. A few minutes spent
cleaning ensures the highest quality prints. Several areas require maintenance to
ensure the highest print quality, and the printer design gives you easy access to all
these areas. Diligent application of the maintenance schedule ensures optimum
performance from your printer.
