11. Clean the UV lamp. Use the up arrow to raise the print engine to its maximum height.
Clean the UV lamp after you've cleaned and
lubricated the rails. The print head carriage is already
in place. Skip right to step b!
a. Press to unlock the print head carriage. When it has stopped
moving, manually move it to the center of the shaft.
b. Turn off the printer by the main power switch.
c. Spray a general purpose glass cleaner onto a soft lint-free cloth and wipe the glass
covering the UV light. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the lamp. If this does not
clean the glass, dried ink will need to be scraped off. Hold the lamp firmly so that it
does not move during this process. Use a glass scraper
(found in your accessories kit) and gently scrape across the
surface until the glass is clear. Wipe the glass again. Visually
confirm that the lamp has not moved by checking that it is
higher than the print head and that it is parallel to the media
table. Also confirm that the reflectors surrounding the glass
have not been damaged. Replace if they are bent.
12. Lubricate Y-axis rails. Using WD-40 sprayed on a lint-free cloth, first wipe the Y-axis
rails so they are clean of any debris or lubrication. Apply a drop or two of oil to the media
table rails as indicated. Use the left and right arrow buttons to move the table back and
forth to spread the oil.
Oil should be applied to the edges only. Do
not apply to the screws.
Apply a drop or two.
Apply the oil to the rails near the
center
Using the arrow keys, move the table to the
opposite end and again, apply oil to the rails
near the center.
Move the table back and forth once more to ensure even distribution of the oil.
