Encoder must be fully dry before printing.

Drain the compressed air
condensate reservoir
Condensate from the compressed air collects in a reservoir
attached to the pressure gauge at the shop air connection. This
resevoir should be checked occasionally and drained when nec-
essary. See page 1-3 for location.
Interval: At control panel warning
Replace ink filters See “Replace Ink Filters” on page 6-15.
Replace all four filters as a set, to prevent ink pump failure. The

ink have passed through the set of filters. You may continue
printing past this point, but printhead fill errors may occur.
