NovaJet 800 Series Service Manual

Printer problems can be caused by an accumulation of dirt or other contamination on the slide shaft. This contamination may lead to drag on the carriage. Extreme drag results in a “carriage axis failure” fault and will stop the carriage motion. These problems may be eliminated by maintaining and cleaning the slide shaft at intervals determined by the environmental conditions. Do not use any lubrication.

To clean the slide shaft:

1.Turn the printer OFF. Disconnect the power cord and interface cable.

2.Raise the printer lid.

3.Moisten a clean cloth or paper wipe with isopropyl alcohol.

4.Wipe the length of the slide shaft with the moistened cloth or wipe.

5.Manually move the carriage assembly from side to side.

6.Wipe the shaft again to remove any deposits left from the carriage.

7.Close the cover and reconnect the power cord and interface cable, turn the printer ON and perform the PRIME procedure. Be sure that the carriage moves freely on the slide shaft.

Service Station Cleaning

Ink and dust may build up on the service station, resulting in contamination which may smear the prints. The service station is cleaned as follows:

1.Turn the printer OFF. Disconnect the power cord and interface cable.

2.Raise the printer lid.

3.Carefully move the carriage toward the center of the printer.

4.Using a cotton swab dampened with distilled water, wipe the seals and the rubber wiper in the service station until no more ink residue or dust can be removed.

5.With a dry swab, wipe all moisture from the seals and wipers.

6.Close the lid and reconnect the power cord and interface cable.
