Weekly Maintenance - MUTOH Spitfire 100 Extreme Operation Instructions Manual

4.1.2 Weekly Maintenance

At the end of the week, ink has to be removed from some parts, so it cannot dry. Otherwise, some parts will
break down or result in bad print quality. After performing a weekly maintenance, do not forget to perform the
daily maintenance afterwards.
Step 1 : Power ON the printer and perform a powerful cleaning of ALL heads.
Step 2 : Go to the "M.Maint.-Menu". The carriage will move to the manual cleaning area on the left of the
machine.
Step 3 : Open the front cover and clean the area around the caps with a polyknit wiper. If noticing ink,
dust or something else, clean it immediately so it can not influence the print quality.
Step 4 : Clean the edges of the heads with a cleaning swab wetted by Spitfire Cleaning Liquid. Make sure
not to touch nor clean the nozzle plate; this would lead to poorer print quality.
