Troubleshooting guide

SECTION 3

OPERATING THE PRINTER

Cleaning Buttons: Provide 3 levels of cleaning for the Printhead Cartridge. These work the same way as

the 3 Maintenance Level Buttons in the Printer Driver:

Quick Clean Printhead – Circulates ink, wipes and cleans the Printhead Cartridge.

Normal Clean Printhead – Runs cleaning and wiping routine twice for better flushing and cleaning.

Full Clean Printhead – Runs the cleaning routine multiple times for the most thorough flushing and

cleaning of the Printhead.

Wipe Printhead – Activates the Service Station to wipe the Printhead.

Circulate Ink – Can be used to help purge air from the printhead and ink system. Caution! Don’t run

this feature more than two times in a row. Doing so can build-up too much pressure in the system which

may cause excessive ink waste and ink spills to occur.

Release Printhead – Use this feature to prepare the printer for the installation or removal of the

Printhead Cartridge. This feature pumps some

of the ink back into the Ink Tanks and then it releases

(opens) the Printhead Latch. Same as using the Printhead Latch Release Button.

See “Installing Printhead Cartridge” or “Replacing Printhead Cartridge” for more details

System Deprime – Use this feature to prepare the printer for service or transport to a remote location.

This feature pumps most

of the ink back into the Ink Tanks and then releases (opens) the Printhead Latch.

See Appendix “Preparing the Printer for Transport” for more details.

Eject Maintenance Station – Ejects the Service Station from the printer. This feature should only be

used by a qualified technician during maintenance.

Install Maintenance Station – Pulls the Service Station into the printer. This feature should only be used

by a qualified technician during installation or maintenance.

[B] Basic Printer Settings – Lets you adjust

automated service and cleaning intervals, adjust

the feeder speed for a job and adjust the Printer

for pre-printed media.

KWS Setting – The Keep Wet System (KWS)

incorporates an algorithm to periodically fire

all printhead nozzles in order to keep all

nozzles wet; thereby reducing nozzle clogging

and print quality issues. In general the dots

produced on the media by this nozzle firing

algorithm are hardly noticeable. However in

some case the dots produced are not acceptable

for the application and the user may wish to

turn this feature off.

None = Intrapage spitting is turned off. KWS

dots are not sprayed onto media.

Light (Default) = Intrapage spitting frequency is set to the "default" level. KWS dots are sprayed

onto media to help reduce nozzle clogging and print quality issues.

Heavy = Intrapage spitting frequency is increased. An increased number of KWS dots sprayed

onto media to further reduced nozzle clogging and print quality issues.

WARNING: Selecting “None” will increase the chance for nozzle clogging and print quality issues.

PLEASE BE SURE TO HIT "SUBMIT" AFTER CHANGING THESE SETTINGS
