15 The screen prompts you to select another ink color line to clear. If you wish to clear
another ink line, use the arrow keys to select
Yes. The Choose Color screen displays and
you can begin the Clear Ink Line sequence again with a different color. If you are done,
select
No to continue.
16 When all line clearing is complete, the system prompts you to
Clean the Purge Block. Press
ENTER when done.
Moisten a swab by applying 1 drop per side of Daily Maintenance
Solution to clean the purge block, which is located directly under the purge valves. Be
sure to swab the entire underside, not just the outer edge. Do this to remove any
remaining ink and prevent it from dripping during printing and/or curing on the
Purge Block. Press ENTER when done.
17 Dispose of swab according to state and local laws and regulations.
Filling the ink lines
Fill Ink Line command in the Maintenance section of the printer’s menu is used when ink is
initially loaded into the printer and any time ink needs to be reloaded after the ink lines have
been cleared. Fill Ink Line is not used when routinely loading new ink pouches as the reservoirs
will fill automatically during normal operation.
To fill the ink lines
CAUTION: Use impervious gloves to protect your hands. Nitrile gloves of no less
than 8 mils have proven impervious for one hour of exposure. Gloves should be
disposed of after one hour of exposure time. Wear safety goggles to protect your
eyes. Dispose of used gloves according to local laws and regulations.
CAUTION: During maintenance procedures, always wait for printer prompts
before lowering the maintenance shelf or opening the head access door. Performing
either of these actions prior to the prompts will cause an emergency stop and
require you to redo maintenance procedures from the beginning.
1 Ensure that there are ink pouches loaded in the ink drawers for the lines that will be
filled.
2 From the main control panel press the MENU key. The
Status screen displays.
