Océ | Operating the Arizona T220
Important: After powering the printer On, leave it running continuously even when
at idle because the printer automatically runs maintenance routines to
keep it at its optimum operating specifications.
Printer Warm-Up
5.2
For optimum print quality and printer reliability we recommended that the ink
temperature be 32°C or above. If the ink is below 32°C, initiate the printer warm-up
routine to warm the ink up to 32°C. During warm-up the heater is turned on while the
gantry moves up and down the table. When the ink temperature reaches 32°C the gantry
will return to its park position. The printer will now turn the heater on periodically for
up to 1 hour while the gantry is parked in order to maintain the ink temperature at 32°C.
Initiating the printer warm-up routine:
1.
Use the control panel to access Operator / Maintenance / Ink Warm Up
2.
Press ACCEPT to begin the Warm Up routine. The following screen will be
displayed at the control panel.
Ink at 22°C
The time required for the warm up routine is dependent on the present environmental
conditions. Typically, allow 15 to 30 minutes to warm up printer.
Once the Ink Warm Up routine has been completed and the gantry has returned to the
parked position it is important to initiate a "Long Purge Nozzles" for all colors in order
to clear any solvent that may have migrated into the printheads while the printer was
idle.
Initiating a Long Purge Nozzles
1.
Use the control panel to access Operator / Maintenance / Long Purge Nozzles
A "Long Purge Nozzles" is recommended if the printer has been idle for more than 2
hours.
Recommendation for the Beginning of Each Printing Day
After the printer warm-up routine and the long purging of the nozzles has been
completed all the printheads should be swabbed (See Swabbing Printheads on page 61).
