Moving The Carriage To Clean The Station Interior [Carriageout] - MIMAKI Tx2-1600 Operation Manual

Moving the carriage to clean the station interior [CARRIAGEout]

This function moves the carriage for maintenance of the ink station.
The interior of the station needs maintenance when a blurred test pattern is not corrected
even after the cleaning function (page 2.12) is executed or when a consumable part is to be
replaced. Frequently wipe the capping station clean to eliminate dust and paper chips. Wip-
ing with a fluffy wiper only rubs dust over the capping station. Replace the fluffy wiper imme-
diately with a new one. (page 4.11)
