Setting periodical operations in stand-by mode
[ROUTINE SETUP]
While the printer is waiting for the next printing job, it can perform various operations at fixed intervals to
prevent ink clogging or the like.
The [ROUTINE SETUP] function is available for the following items:
Preventing the bedewing of ink on the nozzle surface.
[ROUTINE WIPING] (When solvent ink is used.)
With the temperature of the print heater having been set high or use of a larger amount of ink (high concen-
tration, two-layer application, etc.) having been set, “ink splaying”, “ink drops falling”, or “nozzle miss-
ing” may occur.
The cause of these phenomena is such that the ink of the print is heated by the print heater immediately
after printing and resultantly evaporated solvent may condense on the nozzle face.
The greater the difference between the setting temperature of the print heater and the ambient temperature
is, the more easily ink can condense.
This function wipes the condensed ink off the nozzle face at intervals during printing.
STEPS:
1Make sure that the printer is in LOCAL mode, and then select [MAINTENANCE] using
the [FUNCTION] key and press the [ENTER] key.
If it is in REMOTE mode, press the [REMOTE] key.
2Select [ROUTINE SETUP] by pressing the [] key six times and press the [ENTER]
key.
ROUTINE WIPING
While printing, the nozzle surface is wiped with a certain interval to remove dew drops.
It is possible to set [SCAN COUNT] and [TEMP difference]. (When Solvent ink is used)
While printing, the nozzle surface is wiped with a certain interval to remove stains. As
the interval for performing the wiping, the number of scanning time is set. (When water-
based ink is used)
REFRESH Set the interval at which refreshing operation is to be performed periodically.
TUBE WASH Set the interval at which cleaning of the pump tubes is to be performed periodically.
CLEANING
Set the cleaning type and the interval at which cleaning operation is to be performed peri-
odically.
