Maintenance

Introduction

This chapter contains general maintenance and cleaning instruc-
tions for the NovaJet PRO 600e.

Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance consists of a list of checks that are planned
to be performed on a regular basis or when conditions warrant it.
Scheduled maintenance can be thought of as preventive mainte-
nance since its purpose is to prolong the life of the printer. It is not
intended to repair or isolate an existing problem, though it can
sometimes be helpful in detecting a condition due to a weakened
component that has not yet completely failed.
Below is a list of scheduled maintenance checks and their recom-
mended periodicity.
