8.1. General information
- At the end of the day, and when you stop
printing, the shuttle needs to be placed in the
“Purge position”. For overnight or longer
standstill times, an absorbing cloth or paper has
to be placed onto the “Grid” underneath the
shuttle and this grid must be pulled to the front.
This will take care to catch the ink drops that are
jetted continuously to weep the heads, and
avoids that the ink drops will contaminate the
whole area around the shuttle.
- Dispose that paper in the morning, when you want to start printing again with the
printer.
- A default “Weeping” time is set in the engine
software to keep the heads open, this small amount of ink is collected in
the underneath waste box, which leads to a waste tank underneath the engine.
(See chapter 5.6, on how to empty)
- Place some towels in front of the Purge grid, this will help to
keep the area clean, it’s advisable to replace them weekly.
- During a print job, the “Purge Grid” must be placed forward when you start to print.
This prevents the UV light reflection onto the ink heads and so prevents to cure the
ink into the head nozzles when the UV-lamps pass over the much lower purge tray.
It also prevents the ink in the underneath waste box from getting cured by the UV
lamps during the printing stage.
