Routine Printer Maintenance
4/29/10 Rev G
The head access door is designed to trap tiny ink
droplets that occur when the printhead spits to clear the
nozzles. The head access door is located above the
waste ink tray and is connected to the emergency stop
circuit. To remove the head access door, reach under
the door and pull forward firmly.
Whenever the head access door is removed the printer
automatically cancels the current job, and turns off the
motors and UV lamps. You should only remove the
head access door when prompted or when the system is idle.
Inspect the head access door weekly. Wipe away any uncured ink with an all-purpose wipe.
Cured ink can be scraped off with a razor blade.
Cleaning the ink drawers
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.
When ever you replace ink pouches wipe up any dripped or spilled ink from the bottom of the
ink drawer with an all-purpose wipe and dispose of wipe according to local laws and
regulations. It is normal to have drips of ink from the ink pouch located in the drawer above.
Cleaning the Maintenance Shelf Mat
As needed, the rubber Maintenance Shelf Mat can be sprayed lightly with isopropyl alcohol and
then blotted dry with an all-purpose wipe.
Note: A color shift may be noticeable over time.
Cleaning the outside of the Gerber Solara ion
As needed, the covers of the Gerber Solara ion can be wiped down with a soft lint-free cloth to
remove dust and fingerprints.
