HP Designjet 9000s Series Printer Service Manual
Wiping Position Calibration
This calibration must be performed whenever:
Wiping Station is disassembled or replaced.
Wiper Blade is disassembled or replaced.
Wiper Belts are disassembled or replaced.
Perform the Wiping Position Calibration as follows:
1 Enter into the Maintenance Mode ⇒ Page 4-7.
2 Move the Carriage Assembly to the Wiping Station ⇒ Page 4-18.
3 Enter into the "Wipe Position" Menu ⇒ Page 4-13.
This adjustment must be performed when the Carriage is at
the Wiping Station. Do NOT move the Carriage when the
Wiper Blade is raised as this could damage the Printheads.
4 Manually rotate the Wiper Blade using the Wiping Station Gear until the
Wiper Blade touches the Printheads (image is shown without the Carriage
positioned in the Wiping Station). Remove the necessary covers in order to
get access to the Wiping Station Gear.
5 Check that the center of the Wiper Blades are aligned with the center of the
Printheads.
