Description
6.6.11 FLUSHING UNIT
During a long print job, the machine flushes all the nozzles with a very small amount of ink at
15 second intervals. The ink flushed from the nozzles goes through the slots of the flushing
gate [1] into a sump below. This keeps the nozzles clear and in good working condition.
The flushing gates [1] and the ink collector sump (below the gate) are located on the left side
of the printer.
The sump is not connected to the ink collector tank. Ink flushed into the sump
remains there.
The sump of the collection unit should never fill to capacity for the service life of the
printer.
The flushing gate and sump should never require replacement.
