Daily Maintenance - MUTOH Spitfire 100 Extreme Operation Instructions Manual

4.1.1 Daily Maintenance

Before every print, perform a nozzle check. If some nozzles are missing or misfiring, perform cleaning cycles
until all nozzles are in good shape.
We advise to run a normal or a powerful cleaning cycle to recover the nozzles.
A 'daily' maintenance should be performed every time the printer is used. Before shutting down the printer
(normally at the end of the day) ink has to be removed from some parts, so it cannot dry. Otherwise, some
parts will break down or result in bad print quality.
Notes
Find a Good Shape Kit to perform the daily maintenance in-the-box. Normally this is enough for 6 months.
In case you are out of stock, order a new kit at Mutoh Order Entry Department.
The product code of the kit is KY-80228
Step 1 : Power ON the printer and go to the "M.Maint.-Menu". The carriage will move to the manual

Liquid to remove drops of ink. Be sure to wear gloves.
Step 3 : Moisten the edges of the spitting box mesh
