Printhead Maintenance
Press switch 3 to turn on the suction pump. Pick up the suction-head from the tray at
5.
the left end of the maintenance station. Wipe the suction-head with a new, clean lint-free
wipe to remove any particles that could damage the nozzles in the printheads.
[164] Clean Suction-Head
Note:
In the next step, start with the left printhead and work to the right as this limits the pos-
sibility that drops of ink will fall onto the coiled hose. Also, do not push up too hard on
the printhead as you may dislodge it and this will require a service call to fix.
Slide the suction-head slowly along the entire length of each printhead at a speed of ap-
6.
proximately 8mm per second (8 seconds per printhead). The suction-head slides on
stainless steel strips on the printhead. Check to see that all ink is removed – repeat if
necessary.
[165] Swipe Printhead
Wipe the suction-head on a clean piece of new lint-free wipe before proceeding to the
7.
next printhead.
