Replace the maintenance cassette
Introduction
The maintenance cassette wipes the printheads and caps the printhead nozzles.
During the print process, the printhead carriage regularly moves to the right-hand
side of the printer to spit some ink droplets into the maintenance cassette. These
actions are necessary to keep the printheads in optimal condition.
After about 5000 m
2
of output (the exact value depends on the print modes you use)
the printer indicates that you must replace the maintenance cassette.
When to do
Replace the maintenance cassette when printer operator panel displays the message
'Maintenance cassette nearly full.'. The print quality can deteriorate. Replace the
cassette as soon as possible.
Note: If you do not replace the maintenance cassette in time a pop-up message
appears on the screen. The pop-up message displays the message 'Maintenance
cassette full. Press Continue to start the Replace cassette wizard.'. The system
produces a double audio signal and the red LEDs of the printer operator panel
remain illuminated. The printer stops and immediate action is required.
The Océ System Control Panel also indicates that you must replace the cassette.
Note: When the maintenance cassette is not in position when the system starts up,
the system produces an error signal. The red LEDs of the printer operator panel
remain illuminated. The printer operator panel displays the message 'Maintenance
cassette not present.' The message gives access to a wizard that contains the
procedure to replace the maintenance cassette.
Attention: Do not remove the maintenance cassette when you are not in the
wizard. You can seriously damage the printheads. When you open the
maintenance door outside the wizard, an error message prompts you to close the
door.
