6. Run Head Cleaning Cycles - Start and End of Each Day
After turning ON the machine at the start of the day, perform
1 or 2 Head Cleaning Cycles. Press and hold the Right/Clean
button on the LCD control panel, for three seconds to initiate.
Also, perform Head Cleaning Cycles at the end of a large shirt
run as well as at the end of each day.
Another option is to setup your computer
to schedule automatic Head Cleaning Cycles daily. Prevent from forgetting this
important step and refer to the Chapter 14 - Tips and Utilities to Maximize Print
Quality for more information.
7. Ink Levels and Care
Top off the ink levels at the beginning of each shift/day to keep
the levels as clos to the full line as possible. Make sure that the
ink levels do not get too low. If the ink gets too low, the ink lines
will run dry. When relling the ink bottles, STOP at the top line
marked on the front of the bottle. This will prevent excess pressure
from building up within the cartridge, which can cause ink to
drip from the Print Head. Also, do not overll the cartridges or
overow can occur. The ink should NEVER go above the bottles
200 mL mark.
Agitate the white ink cartridges at the beginning and ending of
each day. This will keep the ink in the best possible condition.
For instructions on agitating the White Ink, Refer to Chapter 11 -
Advanced Printing With White Ink - White Ink Care.
8. Turn Off Your Printer (unless using the AutoClean Function)
Turning the printer off nightly will ensure that the print carriage is properly seated on the Capping
Station. If it is not seated, ink may dry up leaving undesirable effects. This process may not be necessary
if utilizing the AutoClean function in FastRIP. To learn more about the AutoClean Function, refer to
Chapter 14 - Tips and Utilities to Maximize Print Quality.
Turn OFF the machine at night using the
red power button on the User Interface.
Wait for the printer to completely power
down (the Print Carriage will dock onto
the capping station). It is critical that
you ensure that it is properly seated.
Next, turn off the main Power Switch
next to the AC cord. DO NOT turn off
your printer at the power strip.
