3. Maintenance Station Service Check
The maintenance station has two functions:
•Cleans the printhead nozzles during the print operation.
•Seals the printhead when it is not being used to prevent the nozzles from drying.
| FRU | Action |
|
|
|
1 | Maintenance Station | As the carrier moves to the right over the maintenance station,a slot on |
| Assembly | the bottom of the carrier engages a tab on the sled of the maintenance |
|
| station causing the cap to rise and seal the printhead. Carrier move- |
|
| ment to the left uncaps the printhead. The wiper cleans the printhead |
|
| nozzles as the carrier leaves the maintenance station. The wiper |
|
| cleans the printhead only when the carrier is moving to the left. There |
|
| should be no wiping action of the printhead nozzles when the carrier is |
|
| moving to the right. After the cleaning operation is complete,a tab on |
|
| the maintenance station engages a tab on the carrier,causing the wiper |
|
| to lower. |
|
| Check the maintenance station for worn or broken parts. |
|
|
|
2 | Wiper | A worn wiper causes degraded print quality just after a maintenance |
|
| cleaning. Check for a loose or worn wiper. |
|
|
|
3 | Cap | A worn cap causes the printhead nozzles to dry and clog. Check for a |
|
| loose or worn cap. |
