14 How Do I Change the Self Cleaning Frequency of Operation?
When used with a remote print sensor, the ICE Torus printer has the ability to self clean the
printhead before every box. To maximise filter life, the ICE Torus is set to clean the printhead
every tenth box.
However, in harsh, dusty environments the self cleaning cycle may be required more
frequently in order to keep high print quality as high as possible.
The ICE Torus printer includes a configurable parameter, ‘Prints per Cleaning Cycle’ to allow
an End User to set the self cleaning cycle in accordance with the factory environment. This
can be accessed from the screen of CLARiTY™, as shown below.
As ‘default’ the value is set at 10.
The parameter can be changed in CLARiTY™ as shown below –
From the ‘Home’ screen navigate press the Tools icon, followed by:
Set Up->Printhead-> and scroll down to ‘Prints per Cleaning Cycle’ and enter the new figure
required.

Once the new figure has been entered, press the ‘OK’ key to confirm, followed by the ‘Home’
key.
