Maintenance3

Introduction

This chapter contains general maintenance and cleaning instructions for the NovaJet 500/630/700 printers.

Scheduled Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance consists of a list of checks that are planned to be performed on a regular basis or when conditions warrant it.

Scheduled maintenance can be thought of as preventive maintenance since its purpose is to prolong the life of the printer. It is not intended to repair or isolate an existing problem, though it can sometimes be helpful in detecting a condition due to a weakened component that has not yet completely failed.
