The Ink Flush Procedure
The Ink Flush Procedure is used when the printer is switched from one ink
type to another. If you insert a new ink bag of a different ink type into the
ink bay, the Ink Status screen will appear and prompt you to perform an
Ink Flush Procedure. The Ink Flush Procedure will prompt you to perform
either:
1) Short flush procedure - this is performed when switching to a
compatible ink type; or
2) Full flush procedure - this is performed when switching to a an ink type
that is not compatible with the current ink used. In this case an ink flush kit
is required.
NOTE
Contact your local service representative for information about this ink
flush kit. Only inks certified by Océ can be used with your printer.
Spit Catcher Alignment Procedure
A Spit Catcher is necessary for all printers with the white ink option
installed or for any printer that uses the Océ ICJ256 inks. The Spit Catcher
consists of a slotted cover for the Maintenance Station drawer and a foam
pad that is held in place under the drawer. Both the white ink and all of the
IJC256 inks need to "spit" periodically to help keep the printhead nozzles
clear of debris. The Alignment Procedure is needed when the Spit Catcher
is first installed or if for some reason the park position of the carriage
changes. The purpose of the alignment is to have the carriage parked
directly over the slots in the spit catcher so that the ink that is spit falls
though the slots and is soaked up by the foam pad below. If you see a
buildup of ink on the surface of the spit catcher it may mean you need to
follow the alignment procedure.
NOTE
The foam pad must be changed if it becomes too saturated with ink. It is a
commercial item so see your local representative for replacements.
