4. Push down on the tabbed edge until you hear the absorber click into place. Make sure that the top
of the maintenance absorber is seated flatly and that none of the corners are higher than the plane
of the platen.
5. Press the OK button on the front panel. The printer checks that the maintenance absorber is
correctly seated. If the front panel shows a message that it is not seated correctly, remove the
maintenance absorber, insert it again, and then press the OK button.
Scheduled maintenance
In some segments of the printer market, the customer tends to print more than the maximum number of
prints that the throughput allows, exceeding by far the limit of the design. When this happens the
customer runs into print quality problems and continuous printer failures.
The purpose of scheduled preventive maintenance is to avoid these failures - ensuring a good
performance during all the product life.
Level of printer usage
Normal printer use means 6,000,000 Carriage Cycles (which corresponds to approximately 100,000
A0 prints on average). Under normal usage conditions, it will be approximately 5 years before the
printer needs maintenance. If the printer is used more than the normal usage conditions, then it will
need maintenance service much more frequently.
One of the EEROM counters is assigned to counting the number of carriage cycles. When certain
components of the printer exceed this amount, the front panel displays the following message:
“Maintenance #1 required”
The following message is triggered depending on the total quantity of ink spitted in each Spittoon.
“Maintenance #2 required”
Once one of the maintenance advised messages is displayed, the preventive maintenance kit must be
used to replace the most worn parts of the printer. Use
Removal and installation on page 205 as a
guide to replace the necessary parts.
