Maintenance
The CoPilot 500 printing system requires very little maintenance during normal operation.
ATTENTION: There are no field-replaceable parts in the Printhead or Controller.
Do not attempt to open the Printhead the Controller. Doing so can damage the
equipment and will void the warranty. Contact Squid Ink or an authorized Squid
Ink distributor for assistance.
Checking Mounting Hardware and Connections
Occasionally check the mounting hardware and retighten any Mounting Brackets or Screws that
may have vibrated loose during operation.
Occasionally check the Data Cable connections between components to ensure that they are
secure and properly seated.
Cleaning the Nozzle Faceplate
If the Nozzle Faceplate becomes contaminated or clogged, gently wipe the front of the
Printhead with a non-abrasive lint-free wipe (Part Number 2005470) and gently spray using a
spray bottle of internal flush fluid compatible with the ink type being used (see “Inks and Fluids”
on page 133). For oil-based Printheads, never use external cleaning fluid on the Nozzle
Faceplate. Instead, if needed, soak the lint-free wipe in internal flush fluid and very gently blot
off any other debris, applying very little pressure.
ATTENTION: Use only Squid Ink approved fluids for cleaning or flushing the
Nozzle Face. Use only the appropriate cleaning or flushing fluid for the specific ink
being used (see “Inks and Fluids” on page 133).
ATTENTION: Use only non-abrasive, lint-free wipes (Part Number 2007021).
Always wipe in one direction without applying any finger pressure.
ATTENTION: The Orifice Strip is very fragile. Avoid direct contact with it if at all
possible.
