Notes :
• Only perform a wipe when there is condensation.
• When there is condensation, and you use the wiping function, please refer to the
table mentioned below. → refer to “Technical Information Bulletin
TIB073_Rockhopper_II_Solvent_Condensation”
• When installing the new firmware on your Rockhopper II printer, we advise you to
install the new wiper. Details will follow in a separate Technical Information
Bulletin.
• When you want to do tests with the wiper, start at “Low”, otherwise you’ll have too
many wipes, and it is possible that the ‘low’ option is sufficient.
• When the fixer (heater B) is not in use and nozzles are miss-firing or not firing, do
not use the wiping function to take care of this problem. In this case the miss-firing
cannot be caused by condensation. Perform a regular cleaning to solve this
problem.

• The expectation is that for 50” units, the advised wiping intensity will be identical or more intense than for a 64”
printer.
