8.16 Print Head Report
Print Head Report is a useful tool for identifying how old each print head is. The user should access Print
Head Report prior to each print job to determine if there is enough print head life to complete a job or to
see if any or all of the print heads require changing.
8.17 View Printer Log
View Printer Log is a text file that stores usage information, error codes, and any event that occurs during
operation. As part of the troubleshooting process, you may be asked by your service provider to save and
submit the log. There is no proprietary information about printed parts in the Printer Log.
8.18 Other Service Menu Items
The other Service menu items are to be used only under the direction of an authorized Z Corporation ser-
vice provider. Incorrect usage of these items will result in an inoperable machine.
8.19 Printer Storage Preparation
If the printer will not be in use for more than two weeks, replace all the binder lines with distilled water to
prevent binder from coagulating in the lines. Follow the procedure below to properly store the printer if you
will not use it for more than two weeks.
8.19.1 Replace Fluid Lines with Distilled Water
1. Remove binder from each bottle and place in its own airtight container. You need a separate airtight
container for each color.
2. Rinse out each binder bottle.
3. Fill each binder bottle halfway full with distilled water.
4. Select Service > Bleed Air in ZPrint.
5. Open the Carriage cover and remove all of the print heads.
6. Use the syringe and tubing (found in Toolbox) to draw water through each fluid line. Draw fluid through
each line until the line is clear (minimum of 50 cc).
7. Close the Carriage cover and the printer top cover.
8. Click Cancel in the Bleed Air dialog to close.
