Function
The ink filters ensure that ink flows easily and is free of partic-
ulate matter. These filters must be changed periodically to
ensure that they are working efficiently. See the Maintenance
section, How to Change Ink Filters for a schedule and instruc-
tions.
The Ink Bay contains 2 liter bags of each color (CMYK) of
ink. The ink bay is located under the table in the corner where
media is loaded. ID tags ensure the correct ink color is installed
in the correct location and that expired ink is not installed. A
warning is issued to the operator when a specific ink bag is
empty and needs to be replaced.
This panel contains all of the receptacles for connections from
the printer to the Operator Control Station. This includes
power and video for the LCD display, an Ethernet network
cable plug for communication and data transfer from the host
computer, a cable to the Emergency stop and a USB cable for
the mouse on the Control Station.
Two UV lamp are housed in cartridges to cure the ink. UV
amps have a finite life and must be changed periodically.
The Carriage Guard protects the Operator from exposure to
UV light and it also protects the lamps and the carriage by
stopping all motion if it encounters an obstacle in the path of
the carriage.
On top of the carriage are purge (vacuum shut-off) valves that
can be shut off to avoid ink drips when the printer is turned
off. They also allow longer purges to select printheads (those
not shut off).
The waste ink tray is located below the printhead maintenance
station. A manual valve allows the operator to drain the waste
ink to a portable container for disposal .
