3.7 UNATTENDED PRINTING OR LEAVE PRINTER IDLE
DURING NIGHT

3.7.1 Unattended Printing.

It is not recommended to leave the printer unattended. Some things should be checked frequently:
•
Does the media still go straight through the printer?
•
Aren't there any head crashes or other media problems?
•
What if the printer stops printing for electronic, mechanic or firmware reasons?
To prevent production loss, it is recommended to control the above on frequent base. In some cases, a head
crash can occur, which means that the printer stops printing and that the head will be uncapped. This could
damage the printer irrevocably.
We advise installing a webcam when sending a print from another place from where the printer stands and to
set the following features:
Step 1 : Before you send your last job to the printer be sure to
a. Perform a tubing flush with cleaning (Please refer to "Daily Maintenance")
Clean the wipers with polyknit wipers and Spitfire Cleaning Liquid.
b. Set your CapCycle to 1 hour.
Step 2 : When you arrive in the morning follow this procedure
a. Perform a tubing flush with cleaning (Please refer to "Daily Maintenance")
b. Perform a nozzle check
c. Depending on the amount of lost nozzles, perform a normal or powerful cleaning until all
nozzles are back.
d. Switch OFF the CapCycle feature.
