28 July 2025

Operational Importance: Rigorous adherence to maintenance protocols is critical for sustained high-precision operation, print quality consistency, longevity, and productivity.

Environmental Requirements:

Clean, Dust-Free: Maintain dust-free environment; avoid smoke/dust sources.

Stable Conditions: Temperature: 18°C-30°C; Humidity: 35%-65%.

Clear Surfaces: Keep printer surfaces clear, especially of liquids.

Stable Placement: Ensure printer is level and media is flat during loading to prevent media deviation.

EMI Avoidance: Keep away from household appliances and strong electromagnetic fields.

Maintenance Procedures:

Encoder Strip: Regularly clean; ensure proper alignment to prevent carriage interference.

Filters: Inspect/replace clogged filters to maintain ink flow.

Capping Station: Keep clean to ensure effective printhead sealing.

Wiper: Maintain clean, undamaged wiper blades for proper ink removal.

Ink Cartridges/Waste Tanks: Clean regularly to prevent sediment buildup and flow issues.

Stabilizer: Use dedicated 3000W+ stabilizer per printer for stable power.

Ink Levels: Monitor to prevent printhead dry-firing and clogging.

Print Platform: Keep free of debris to avoid printhead damage.

Printhead: Clean nozzle face and surrounding area carefully with lint-free swabs/cleaning fluid.

Ink Damper: Check for looseness; secure to prevent leaks.

Drive Components: Lubricate gears (e.g., air shaft), linear guides, carriage lift mechanism, and timing belts with appropriate grease.

Electrical Inspection: Check power cords/sockets for damage; replace immediately if faulty.

Dryer: Inspect wiring for aging; replace damaged lamps promptly.

Air Pump: Monitor/maintain correct pressure for media handling systems.
