Maintenance And Cleaning - Direct Color Systems Direct Jet 1024UVHS Maintenance And Troubleshooting Manual

MAINTENANCE and CLEANING

When powering the printer back on, remember to turn on the main power then
powering up the print engine. This is to allow time for the LED light to calibrate its distance from the print
head.
Although your Direct Jet printer is engineered to provide many years of trouble-free operation, regular
cleaning and periodic maintenance are required to keep your machine running smoothly.
