Maintaining the Ink Cartridge
Storage of Ink Cartridges
The ink cartridges should be stored at room temperature. A temperature
of 18-25° C and a relative humidity of 35-55% is ideal.
Whenever the printer is not used for any lengthy period, it is advisable to
remove the cartridges from the mounts and to store them in the protective
caps which are available as options (to protect the nozzles from drying
out).
Cleaning the Ink Cartridges
Cleaning of the ink cartridge is required before reinserting the cartridges,
or if the print image has deteriorated visibly.
• Before replacing the ink cartridge, check it visually for leakage (Make
sure ink does not leak).
• Check the contact film visually for oxidation and mechanical damage.
• Do not use the cartridge if it is not in proper working condition.
• If necessary, replace the cartridge.
Note: If the nozzle plate becomes soiled, clean it exclusively with a clean,
absorbent, lint free cloth (P/N 29805A). To dampen the cloth, only use
de-ionized or distilled water. Always make sure that the cartridge is dry
before you reinsert it.
EQUIPMENT DAMAGE. Do not use solvent or liquids other than
de-ionized / distilled water to clean the ink cartridges.
