Replacing the maintenance tray (B)
Approximate time to complete: 22 minutes
The printer uses the maintenance tray, located inside the printer behind the
front cover, prior to each printing and during cleaning operations. A front
panel message tells you when the maintenance tray is low, allowing you to
make a limited number of prints before the tray is depleted. Install a new
maintenance tray to continue printing. Each replacement maintenance tray
has a print capacity of approximately 10,000 prints. To avoid printing
delays, keep an extra maintenance tray available for use in the printer.
Note
There is a 20-minute warm-up period required after replacing the
maintenance tray. As the printer initializes, it cycles the new
maintenance tray to prepare it for use. Noises during the
warm-up period are normal and are not an indication of a problem
with the printer.
To order a maintenance tray (Tektronix order number 436-0303-00), contact
your local dealer or, in the United States, call Tektronix at 1-800-835-6100.
