solvent, as required

H.7.3 Activities
Demonstrate a warning on the printer (a simple one is to remove the
printhead from its cover tube), and point out the warning in the Status Line.
Explain that the Status Line should be examined whenever you are close to
the printer to ensure that no attention is needed.
Explain that if the printer is reporting a “3.03 Ink Low” or “3.04 Solvent
Low” warning, there will be an indication in the Status Line, indicating
which tank needs refilling.
Refer to ‘Ink and solvent precautions’ in the Simply the Linx 4900 pocket
guide.
A ‘Quick Quiz’ can be given to cover all the relevant safety aspects of
working with the printer.
Ensure there is complete understanding of all the points. In particular, point
out the gloves and glasses symbols, reminding operators that protective
equipment is to be worn when handling ink and solvents.
Point out the first aid instructions in the ‘First aid for inks and solvents’
section in the Simply the Linx 4900 pocket guide.
Refer to ‘Adding ink and solvent’ in the Simply the Linx 4900 pocket
guide.
Point out the adhesive label on the solvent filler cap that shows the solvent
type to be used. Point out that this must be similar to the markings on the
solvent bottle. In addition, point out the ‘Use-by’ date on the bottle.
Repeat the above activity for the ink filler cap and ink bottle.
Demonstrate, using an empty bottle, how the bottle should be placed into
the filler tube. Point out the serrated teeth, which are designed to pierce the
foil on the bottle neck.
