Replace the service station wiper (quarterly)

The wiper blade deteriorates with use. Replacing the wiper blade periodically restores the wiping to optimal performance and wiper height.

NOTE: Replace the wiper according to the schedule in Table 9-1 Schedule of cleaning tasks

on page 57. The wiper replacement schedule is calculated to be frequent enough to avoid the need for wiper-height calibrations between replacements. If the wipers are not making adequate contact with the printheads, contact your service provider to calibrate the wiper height.

1.From the control panel (System page > Tools > User Cleaning and Maintenance), select Replace Service Station Wiper.

2.Press Proceed to continue.

3.Open the service door to access the service station.

4.Move the printhead carriage away from the service station.

5.Remove the screw (A in the figure below) that secures the wiper clamp to the wiper assembly.

6.Separate the two wiper clamp halves and remove the original wiper blade.

7.Install the replacement wiper blade in the orientation shown below. Figure 9-25Wiper clamp screw
