5-2 Maintenance Schedule
Maintenance Schedule The printer is designed for low-maintenance operation. Most
operator-performed maintenance is performed on the print-
heads.
Task Description
Interval: Weekly or as needed
Clean pinch rollers Inspect for ink and dust buildup, if necessary
wipe with lint-free cloth moistened with
SolaChrome-HR Cleaning Solvent. Use the
Maintenance > Clean Grit Rollers function to
rotate the grit rollers for cleaning.
Clean carriage rail and bearings (page 5-4) Inspect for ink and dust buildup, clean if nec-
essary (see “Clean the Rail and Bearings” on
page 5-4).
Clean printheads See “Checking Jet Health” on page 3-7. To
recover jets that are unrecoverable with the
automated Purge-n-Wipe, see “Cleaning
Clogged Ink Jets” on page 5-9.
Clean platen area Carefully wipe ink from the platen with a cloth
moistened with SolaChrome-HR Cleaning Sol-
vent, especially near the right and left edges.
Inspect service station wipers for ink buildup
and clean as needed

buildup. If found, clean the wipers with a lint-
free cloth moistened with SolaChrome-HR
Cleaning Solvent.
Interval: As needed

the wipers after they have been exposed to
inks and cleaning solvent for an extended
period.
Calibrate the service station (page 5-17) Aligns the service station wipers to the centers
of the printheads.
Clean capping station With the printheads uncapped, the capping

ward and out of its tracks. Clean the capping
pad with cleaning solvent.
Clean postheater cover Clean the embossed postheater cover only
with an ammonia-free, deionized cleaner such
as Sparkle (http://www.glasscleaner.com/).
Other cleaners may leave a sticky residue that
increases the possibility of head strikes.
