CHAPTER 1 Getting Started This chapter shows you how to get started using your printer.
Operating Requirements Choose a location for the printer before you unpack it. Keep the following requirements in mind: Electrical Environmental 1-2 ◆ Use the supplied power cord. Plug it directly into a grounded electrical outlet. Do not lengthen the power cord with an extension cord; the resulting voltage drop could damage the printer.
Important Operating Notes Operating Requirements ◆ Store media and ink in an area with similar temperature and humidity conditions as the printer. ◆ Locate the printer close enough to the print server (RIP) so that they can be connected with the required cable. ◆ Locate the printer on a flat, level floor. ◆ Locate the printer where its normal operating noise will not disturb quiet work areas.
1-4 ◆ To cap the printheads, use only SolaChrome Printhead Capping Film. Damage to printheads resulting from the use of poorly performing plastic films is not covered by the printer warranty. ◆ The maximum diameter allowed on the takeup spool is 7.5 inches (190.5 mm) on a 3-inch core. When the takeup spool has a diameter of 6.5-7.5 inches (165.0-190.5 mm), the control panel displays a warning about possible print quality issues.
◆ DO NOT set heavy objects on the power cord or printer cable; do not bend the cables or force them into contorted positions. ◆ DO NOT place heavy objects anywhere on the printer. Safety Warnings Operating Requirements WARNING WITH THE POWER SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION, POWER MAY STILL BE SUPPLIED TO THE PRINTER COMPONENTS. To completely cut power from the printer, you must unplug the power cords from the power outlets.
WARNING Hot surfaces. Do not touch. WARNUNG Heiß, nicht berühren. WARNING Moving parts. Keep fingers away from media path. WARNUNG Bewegliche Teile, Verletzungsgefahr.
Unpacking and Assembly This procedure assumes that the printer is in its final location. See the Site Preparation Guide for moving and unpacking hints. WARNING The printer is too heavy to be lifted safely by one person. At least three persons are required to lift the printer. WARNUNG Der Drucker ist zu schwer für eine Person. Mindestens 3 Personen sind erforderlich um den Drucker anzuheben. Note Required Tools If you will be installing a ColorSpan Print Server, set it up now and power it on.
5. Lift the box straight up and off of the pallet. 6. Remove the protective shipping material from around the printer, but leave the printhead carriage shrink wrapped. 7. Retain the Unpacking and Assembly Instructions (part number 0700024), which is shrink wrapped to the printer. You can refer to the Unpacking and Assembly Instructions (includes a parts list) with this manual during the unpacking and assembly process. 8.
13. Bias the stand legs outward at the top, then tighten the screws firmly (see Fig. 1-2) but not all the way. With your foot braced against the outside of the left caster support, gently tug the top of the stand leg toward you, while a second person tightens the screws. Repeat this process with the right stand leg. This step is required to ensure proper clearance for the media spools. Fig. 1-2.
Printer Assembly 15. Attach the lift handle to the left end of the printer, using four #2 screws on the back and one screw on the front (see Fig. 1-3). Fig. 1-3. Lift handle 16. Remove and discard the “DO NOT LIFT” label. 17. Detach the printer chassis from the pallet. The printer chassis is attached with 10 mm hex-head bolts and shock-absorbing washers to two wooden frames on the pallet. Access the screws from the rear of the pallet. 18. Position the stand behind the printer. 19.
Caution When assembling the printer onto the stand, be careful to avoid damaging the turnbuckles underneath the postheater by allowing them to strike the stand legs. The turnbuckles are precisely adjusted at the factory, and will clear the stand legs by less than one inch (25 mm) during assembly. Damaging them could result in misalignment of the media path. Fig. 1-4. Lowering the printer onto the stand WARNING The printer is too heavy to be lifted safely by one person.
21. Align center hole on each leg (between pins) with center hole in printer (see Fig. 1-5). To speed this alignment, you can use a screwdriver inserted into the holes in the stand and printer. Fig. 1-5. Stand alignment 22. Lower the printer chassis onto the stand. 23. Ensure that the printer lies flat on both of the stand brackets. Realign if necessary. Note The printer must lie flat on the stand brackets to avoid media feed problems during printer operation. 24.
Caution Unpacking and Assembly Failure to assemble the printer to the stand with silver screws could isolate the supply and takeup system from ground, which could result in damage to the printer from electrostatic discharge.
Off Head Supply (OHS) Assembly 25. Remove the pump cover (see Fig. 1-6). This is necessary to access the lower mounting holes for the reservoir wire rack. The pump cover attaches to the printer with two Phillips head screws. 26. Install the reservoir wire rack (see Fig. 1-6). Insert the top pieces, hooks pointing down, into the mounting holes. Then insert the bottom pieces into the mounting holes. Reservoir rack Pump cover Catch tray Fig. 1-6. Reservoir wire rack and ink catch tray 27.
. Install the five reservoirs. You may want to wear gloves during this procedure to protect your hands from pigment ink stains. ◆ Place the reservoir into the wire rack. Match the color or cleaning solvent label on the reservoir with the corresponding label on the printer. ◆ Remove the packing material from the ink level floats inside the ink buckets. ◆ Unscrew the plastic seal on the hook-shaped tube attached to the filter. Discard, or retain for subsequent use.
Final Assembly 30. Install the vacuum reservoir (see Fig. 1-8). Ensure that the o-ring is in place inside the reservoir opening, and screw on the reservoir. Hand tighten firmly, but do not overtighten. Fig. 1-8. Vacuum reservoir 31. Using the threading string attached to the stand leg, pull the drain tube that is connected to the left-side spittoon through the stand leg to the rear of the printer, and connect it to the left-side excess ink reservoir (see Fig. 1-9). Fig. 1-9.
32. Remove the front cover, and leave it off until the printer is powered up and normal operation is verified. 33. Using the threading string supplied, pull the drain tube that is connected to the right-side spittoon through the stand leg to the rear of the printer, and connect it to the right-side excess ink reservoir (see Fig. 1-10 and Fig. 1-11). Fig. 1-10. Drain tube routing (with front cover removed) Sensor cable Drain tube Fig. 1-11.
Note Ensure that the drain tube is fully attached to the reservoir with a “click.” Partial attachment will not allow ink to drain into the reservoir, which will eventually cause the service station to overflow with excess ink. 34. Connect the cable to the sensor on the excess ink reservoir (see Fig. 1-11). 35. Connect the supply and takeup cable to the port on the side of the electronics box (see Fig. 1-12).
37. Connect the power cable to the connector on top of the vacuum/pressure assembly. Fig. 1-13. Vacuum/pressure system with cable connection (cover removed) 38. Reinstall the vacuum/pressure system cover. 39. (DisplayMaker 72SR only) Connect the cable from the mediaout sensor cable to the cable from the vacuum/pressure system. Both of these cables are marked with a label that says “MEDIA SNSR.” From sensor From V/P system Fig. 1-14. (DisplayMaker 72SR only) Connecting the media-out sensor.
40. (Optional) Connect the optional VOC plenum to building ventilation or VOC recovery equipment. Install and connect the optional VOC plenum to a building exhaust duct or charcoal filter device. Refer to the documentation that accompanies the kit for instructions. 41. Level and stabilize the printer. Leveling the printer and removing its weight from the stand casters is required to ensure proper media tracking and high-quality prints. Locate the printer on a flat, level floor.
46. Check the ground path between the spool and the finger that protrudes from the end of the spool. If this fails, replace the spool. 47. Check the ground path between the electronics box and the supply & takeup assembly. Touch one lead to the stainless steel pin located between the two Phillips-head screws above the spool collet on the takeup. Place the other lead on the stainless steel cover of the electronics assembly. If this fails, check the grounding between the stand and the printer. 48.
Connecting to Power See Appendix A, Technical Specifications, or refer to the Site Preparation Guide, for detailed power requirements. Consult a qualified electrician if you have any doubt as to how the circuits in your facility can accommodate the printer and print server. WARNING WITH THE POWER SWITCH IN THE OFF POSITION, POWER MAY STILL BE SUPPLIED TO THE PRINTER COMPONENTS. To cut power completely from the printer, you must unplug the power cords from the power outlets.
Connecting to the Print Server Connect the printer to the print server with the included VideoNet (for ColorSpan print servers) or Ethernet cable (nonColorSpan RIPs). See Fig. 1-16. Note Do not connect the printer VideoNet cable to your local area network. The VideoNet protocol is not compatible with other network protocols. Refer to the print server (RIP) documentation for further instructions on connecting the printer to the print server. Fig. 1-16.
First-Time Power-Up and Test Print Unpack the Printheads After the printer is assembled and connected to power, you can power up the printer, load media and ink, and print a test print. Have a paper towel ready to blot any cleaning fluid that has escaped from the printheads and foam pad during shipping. Most of the fluid should run off the SolaChrome Capping Film into the drip tray. 1. Remove the shipping straps and shrink wrap from around the carriage. 2.
5. Remove and discard the Capping Film from the capping station. 6. Leave the capping station, in the lowered position. 7. Slowly lower the carriage back down over the capping station. 8. Move the carriage as needed to locate and remove the white protective strips (for shipping) from the rail. 9. Fill the small squirt bottle (part number 0602448), located in the accessory kit, with SolaChrome HR Cleaning Solvent.
Power Up the Printer 1. Turn on the power switch to observe the typical power-up sequence. 2. The control panel backlight illuminates. Move the contrast lever (located to the right of the control panel screen) up and down until the control panel graphics and messages are easily visible. 3. The printer runs a series of self-tests, and reports any errors it finds. 4. The printhead carriage moves to the service station. 5. The control panel prompts you to load media. 6.
Install Ink for the First Time in the Printer 1. Shake each bottle of ink for one minute to redisperse the pigments. It is not necessary to shake the cleaning solvent. The green “ready for refill” LEDs should be illuminated, indicating that you may fill the reservoirs. 2. Empty the refill bottles into their corresponding reservoirs, and install the profilers into their corresponding positions in the docking station.
When you empty a refill bottle into a reservoir, the green LED will blink until you install the corresponding profiler. Then the LED will turn off. Do not refill the inks until the green LED illuminates again. 3. After all four inks and the cleaning solvent reservoirs are full, press the Online/Offline key to display the Front Page screen. 4. From the Front Page screen, press the (Menu) key to enter the menu system. 5. Press the ) key repeatedly to highlight Maintenance. 6.

CHAPTER 3 Ink and Media This chapter describes: Ink and Media ◆ Ink System Overview (page 3-2) ◆ Selecting a Print Mode (page 3-4) ◆ Checking Jet Health (page 3-6) ◆ Refilling Ink (page 3-9) ◆ Capping the Printheads (page 3-11) ◆ Loading Roll-Fed Media (page 3-14) ◆ Unloading and Cutting Roll-Fed Media (page 3-21) ◆ Loading Rigid Media (page 3-25) ◆ Unloading and Reloading Rigid Media (page 3-31) ◆ Media Wizard (page 3-32) ◆ Setting Heater Temperatures (page 3-35) 3-1
Ink System Overview The printer’s ink system consists of the following components: ◆ OffHead System (OHS) reservoirs — four solvent-based ink reservoirs (CMYK) and one cleaning solvent reservoir. ◆ Ink tubes — carry ink and cleaning solvent to the printheads, and cleaning solvent to the service station. ◆ Printheads — permanent piezo-based printheads. ◆ Vacuum/Pressure (VP) System — provides vacuum to maintain negative pressure at the printheads, and pressure to purge the ink tubes and printheads.
Idle Jet Maintenance Due to the evaporation of the solvents in solvent-based inks, the ink jets in solvent printers are susceptible to clogging. To minimize jet-outs, keep the printer printing and clean, and use the printer’s jet maintenance features. The following table shows the recommended maintenance schedule while the printer is idle. See Chapter 5, Maintaining the Printer, for a complete listing of recommended maintenance to keep the printer operating well and covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Selecting a Print Mode The bidirectional print modes (printing occurs in both directions) enable you to select the combination of print speed and quality required. Speed or throughput depends on the mode selected, and by other factors such as the width of the image. The unidirectional (left-only) modes are available for rigid cutsheet printing only. Unidirectional printing eliminates the bidirectional misalignment that occurs when printing on media that is not perfectly flat. 1.
General Printing Tips General Printing Tips ◆ See “Important Operating Notes” on page 1-3 for important information on operating the printer. ◆ Before printing on vinyl media that has been loaded on an idle printer overnight or longer, advance the portion of the media that has been resting on the preheater (prior to the platen) past the print zone. In this situation, the vinyl tends to retain the shape of the preheater, making it more likely that the printheads or carriage will strike the media.
Checking Jet Health The printer’s automatic jet maintenance features (gutter printing, spits, service station wipes) are designed to keep the inkjets from clogging. In addition, when AutoJet detects a missing jet, it attempts to replace it with a working jet on the same or another printhead (in Production and High Quality modes). In this way, printing occurs with all jets for maximum quality. When you notice a decrease in print quality, one or more inkjets may be clogged. To recover clogged jets: 1.
Print Prime Bars 1. From the control panel Front Page screen, press the Prime Bars key. The control panel displays a prompt asking you to enter the total width of the prime bar pattern you wish to print. 2. Enter a width for the prime bar pattern by pressing the ) and , keys. 3. Press the ! (Proceed) key to continue. The printer prints the prime bar pattern. The prime bars will show correctly working jets with a solid line, and missing jets with no line.
To purge-n-wipe a color (four printheads): 1. From the control panel Front Page screen, press the (Menu) key. 2. Press the ) key to highlight Maintenance. 3. Press the (Menu In) key. 4. Press )to highlight Purge a Color. 5. Press the (Menu In) key. 6. Press the ! (Proceed) key to continue. The control panel displays a list of ink colors. 7. Press )repeatedly to select an ink color to purge. 8. Press ! (Proceed) to continue.
Refilling Ink The ink and cleaning solvent reservoirs each have a capacity of 3.5 liters. The refill bottles of ink contain 2 liters, while the cleaning solvent refill bottles contain 3 liters. ◆ Ink — When the reservoir ink level sensor inside one of the ink reservoirs detects 1 liter of ink remaining, the corresponding green “ready for refill” LED illuminates. This alerts the operator that the reservoir can be refilled, and that there are approximately 400 ml of useable ink remaining.
3. Open the reservoir cover and pour the entire contents of the refill bottle into the reservoir. The LED blinks fast. This indicates that the refill was detected, and a new profiler is needed. 4. Remove the profiler from the previous ink or cleaning solvent supply, and discard it. 5. Insert the new profiler that came with the refill bottle into the docking station. The LED blinks slowly, then goes out. This indicates that the new profiler was recognized and its data is being read.
Capping the Printheads Capping the printheads prevents the ink from drying out and clogging the ink jets. Since the ink jets are automatically exercised (a small amount of ink is expelled) when idle, capping is only necessary if the printer will be idle for a long period (overnight or longer).
Do not raise the capping pad beyond this point. 5. Press Proceed. The control panel displays the Front Page screen. Note that all but a few functions are disabled until you uncap the printheads. Uncap the Printheads Uncapping the printheads is one component of the Wake function, which reverses the Sleep function: ◆ The printer leaves standby mode: the heaters are switched on, and the supply & takeup system is tensioned (loaded). ◆ The OHS is enabled, which turns on power to the pumps.
5. To access the heads for cleaning, remove the capping station assembly by pulling it forward and out of the printer. 6. Wipe the printheads with SolaChrome-HR Cleaning Solvent, using a 100% polyester Class 100 cleanroom wipe. DO NOT USE ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL ON THE PRINTHEADS. Remove ink buildup on the printheads and lower surfaces of the carriage. 7. Replace the capping station assembly by aligning it with and pushing it into its tracks in the printer.
Loading Roll-Fed Media The printer includes a tensioned supply and takeup system designed to handle vinyl and other heavier media on three-inch cores. The media handling system automatically detects the size of the supply and takeup rolls and provides consistent tension as the rolls change size during printing. With the corresponding collets, media on 2-inch cores can be loaded onto the supply, but only 3-inch collets can be used on the takeup.
1. Ensure that the fixed collet is properly located with the screw tightened into the inner hole on the supply spool (using the outer hole would prevent the spool from being installed). The side of the spool with the fixed collet is the “home” side, closest to the printer’s electronics box. 2. Remove the moveable collet from the spool. Note The 3-inch collets have left-handed threads that selftighten during printing. Turn the locking ring clockwise to loosen, and counterclockwise to tighten. 3.
6. Ensure that the media is rolled onto the supply spool evenly, without “telescoping” to one side. 7. With your right hand, feed the leading edge of the media into the printer’s pinch rollers and hold it in place until the following step. If loading 72 inch media, see “Loading 72-Inch Media” on page 3-20 for loading tips. Note The printer automatically locates the right and left edges of the media, so it is not necessary to align the media edges to a reference mark on the platen. 8.
10. On the Front Page screen of the control panel, press the Load Media key. The control panel presents a list of media types. You can select a ColorSpan media from the list, or select Custom (at the end of the list) to specify a new media. The printer’s Media Wizard feature stores a set of parameters for each media type, which can be recalled and applied whenever you change media types. (See “Media Wizard” on page 3-32 for details.) 11. Select the media type you are loading, or create a new media type.
14. To advance the media, press "(Yes), otherwise press ( (No) and go to the next step. ◆ If you press "(Yes), the media advances to the takeup spool. You can press Stop if necessary to stop the media advance at any time. ◆ If you press ( (No), go to step 13. 15. Grasp the middle of the media web, pull straight back, route the media underneath the takeup core, and tape it to the takeup core as shown in Fig. 3-3 on page 3-15.
The control panel displays the Media Feed Number and a numeric keypad. Fig. 3-5. Numeric entry screen 17. Accept the displayed Media Feed Number, enter a new number, or perform a Media Feed Calibration to generate a new Media Feed Number (see “Media Feed” on page 4-9 for instructions). You are now ready to begin printing.
Loading 72-Inch Media The width of the 72-inch media makes it impossible for most persons to load it by grasping its left and right edges at the same time. Follow this procedure to more easily load 72-inch wide media. Tip Wear cotton gloves when loading media, or handle the media only by its very outside edges. This will prevent skin oils from being deposited on the media, which could be visible on printed output. 1.
Unloading and Cutting Roll-Fed Media 1. Press the ) key on the Front Page screen to advance the printed portion of the media past the postheater. 2. On the Front Page screen of the control panel, press the Unload key. 3. The control panel prompts you to press ! to unload media, or ( to cancel. 4. Press ! to continue. This detensions the supply and takeup spools. 5. Cut through the media with a utility knife along the cutting channel in the platen or below the postheater.
Takeup Spool Pin Release To quickly unspool a large amount of media from the takeup without damaging the takeup tension spring, you must first disengage the spool from the takeup system. The spool is normally engaged to the takeup motor with a tab at the end of the spool. To disengage this tab, press the Unload key to detension the supply & takeup system, then insert the takeup spool pin release tool (supplied, part number 0504334) between the spool and the bracket that holds the spool.
Respooling Media The printer can respool media from one cardboard core to another. You may want to do this if: ◆ The media was not taped to its core by the media vendor, which makes tensioning impossible. ◆ You want to change the direction that the media unwinds from the core (printed side out vs. printed side in). Supply Takeup Fig. 3-7. Respooling load options 1. Load media on the supply. 2. Load an empty cardboard core on the takeup. 3. Slowly pull media from the supply spool to the takeup.
10. Press the ! (Proceed) key to respool the media. The media is pulled from the supply spool onto the takeup spool. When the printer detects the end of the media, the respool function stops automatically.
Loading Rigid Media Printing on rigid media only applies to printer models with rigid media software and media handling features. Printers so configured have two media load states: ◆ Unloaded — the printer is ready to accept either roll-fed or rigid cut-sheet media ◆ Loaded — the Media Wizard has stored parameters for the currently-loaded cut-sheet media, allowing you to reload multiple cut sheets without reentering the Media Wizard 1.
Fig. 3-8. Media settings If you are creating a new media type, you are prompted for the following settings: ◆ Feed Method — when you select Cut Sheet, the rigid media options are enabled throughout the Media Wizard. ◆ Pinch rollers — specify the pinch roller force setting as shown on the label located on the pinch roller lever. Use the lowest setting that holds the media in the rollers without marking its surface. 4.
Loading and Aligning the Sheet 6. Unload any roll-fed media from the printer. 7. Release the pinch rollers. 8. Slide a sheet of media onto the platen and through the pinch rollers. 9. Align the leading edge of the media with the front edge of the platen or with a row of platen vacuum holes.
13. Press the ! key to continue. The control panel displays a screen that shows the following information: ◆ Media size ◆ Print area ◆ Right & left margins — if you enter 0 (zero), you can also specify an amount of overprint (printing past the edge of the media). This enables you to achieve an edge-toedge printing effect without an unprinted border, especially if the media is skewed or not a perfect rectangle. Protect the platen with tape or a strip of media to catch the overprinted ink.
The control panel displays the Media Feed Number and a numeric keypad. Fig. 3-9. Numeric entry screen 15. Accept the displayed Media Feed Number, enter a new number, or perform a Media Feed Calibration to generate a new Media Feed Number (see “Media Feed” on page 4-9 for instructions). You are now ready to begin printing. 16. Press the Online key to receive a print job from the print server or RIP.
Edge-to-Edge Printing 3-30 On rigid media, the printer can print up to the leading, right, and left edges when you set the margins to 0. ◆ Tape the platen under the left and right edges of the media to catch any oversprayed ink. Use a colored tape to allow the printer to find the media edges. A piece of media printed with a solid color also works for this purpose. ◆ Use the head height gauge to set the printheads to the standard height over the media. This will minimize ink overspray.
Unloading and Reloading Rigid Media After printing onto a sheet of rigid media, the Front Page screen displays a special Load/Reload key. Fig. 3-10. Load/Reload key ◆ Load New Media — press this key to re-enter the Media Wizard and select a new media to load (either roll-fed or rigid cut-sheet) ◆ Reload Media — press this key to re-load the same media type, for example to print multiple copies of the same image You can also press the Unload key to return the printer to an unloaded state.
Media Wizard The Media Wizard software feature stores a set of printing parameters by media type, enabling you to instantly optimize the printer whenever you change media. The Media Wizard includes standard sets of parameters for popular media types, and allows you to define new settings for media types you define. The Media Wizard can store a different set of settings for each of the print modes (Billboard, Production, High), or use the same settings for all three modes.
For each media type, the Media Wizard stores the following settings: ◆ Media name — for user-defined media, use the alphabetic keyboard displayed on the control panel to enter the media name. (Standard media names cannot be changed.) ◆ Media thickness — for user-defined media, use the numeric keyboard displayed on the control panel to enter the media thickness (caliper). (Standard media thickness cannot be changed.) Thickness is used for reference only, so this can be left blank for custom media.
◆ Heater temps setting (for the post-heater/dryer) (roll fed) — select a heater setting from 0 to 10, or Custom to specify custom settings. Setting 0 sets all heaters to 85° F (30° C). The preheater and platen heater maintain uniform surface temperature across the printing area to control dot gain on various media. The postheater dries prints before being rolled onto the take-up spool.
Setting Heater Temperatures The are three heaters: a preheater, a platen heater, and postheater. The postheater’s top and bottom zones can be set to different temperatures. The heater temperatures can be set during the media load process (see “Loading Roll-Fed Media” on page 3-14), from the Media Wizard (see “Media Wizard” on page 3-32), or from the menu (see the following procedure). 1. From the control panel Front Page screen, press the (Menu) key. 2.

CHAPTER 4 Calibrating the Printer This chapter explains how to calibrate the printer for the best possible output: Calibrating the Printer ◆ When to Calibrate (page 4-2) ◆ AutoJet (page 4-3) ◆ AutoTune (page 4-4) ◆ Auto Calibrations (page 4-7) — AutoBiDi Calibration, AutoH2H (Head-to-Head) Calibration, AutoJet Calibration, Full AutoSet ◆ Manual Calibrations (page 4-8) — Media Feed, Manual BiDi Registration, Manual X Head Registration, Manual Jet Mapping, Jet Status Lines, Default Registration Dat
When to Calibrate The printer features several types of calibrations. Some should be run routinely, others only when necessary: When to run Calibration Function When Purge-n-Wipe does not recover all missing jets AutoJet (page 4-3) To identify and map out nonor Manual Jet Mapping (page 4-15) working jets.
AutoJet AutoJet detects individual ink jets that are misfiring or not firing at all. During subsequent printing, the printer compensates for these jets by using other jets in their place, ensuring maximum print quality without reducing print speed. You can also identify and map missing jets manually from the Manual Calibrations menu (see “Manual Jet Mapping” on page 4-15). You may want to manually map weak or misdirected jets that AutoJet does not detect and substitute.
AutoTune AutoTune runs jet maintenance automatically at intervals you specify. You can use the Quality Check Mode feature to handle AutoJet errors, with or without user intervention. 1. On the Front Page screen, press the (Menu) key to enter the menu system. 2. Press the (Menu In) key display the Calibrate Printer menu. 3. Press the ) key to highlight AutoTune. 4. Press the (Menu In) key. The control panel displays the AutoTune status (off or current interval). 5.
Quality Check When you run AutoJet manually, the software notifies you if there are any jet or alignment problems so that they can be addressed. When AutoTune runs AutoJet at scheduled intervals, you can use the Quality Check feature to handle AutoJet errors.
AutoRecover AutoRecover runs Purge-n-Wipe automatically at the beginning of a print job, when a specified number of minutes have passed since the last Purge-n-Wipe. This function is disabled by default. Enable it only if neeed to keep jets working. Running a Purge-n-Wipe operation before printing ensures the maximum number of working jets, but is not necessary before each print. If jets are becoming clogged or deflected, lower the AutoRecover interval.
Auto Calibrations The printer’s piezo printheads are aligned at the factory and should only occasionally require you to run an automatic bidirectional or head-to-head calibration. 1. On the Front Page screen, press the (Menu) key to enter the menu system. 2. Press the (Menu In) key display the Calibrate Printer menu. 3. Highlight Auto Calibrations and press the (Menu In) key. 4. Select one of the Auto Calibrations.
Manual Calibrations When you run the calibrations from this menu, you evaluate the calibration test patterns visually and enter the calibration values via the control panel. Note The manual BiDi and X head calibrations are timeconsuming and can be error-prone, but is necessary when calibrating transparent media or other media that the printer’s digital image sensor cannot calibrate. Before calibrating the printer, first clean the printhead jets.
Media Feed This calibration allows you to calibrate the accuracy of the media advance. Inaccurate media advance can result in blank spaces between print swaths (too much advance) or overlapping swaths (too little advance). The Media Wizard stores this value by media type, and displays a media feed number (MFN), which you can record for subsequent entry. The media feed number enables you to quickly specify a known good media feed setting without recalibration.
◆ Tip To avoid cutting the 10-inch pattern from the media web, copy the marks from the 10-inch calibration to the long edge of a letter-size (or A4) sheet of paper. Then measure the transferred marks and adjust the media advance as needed until the marks are exactly 10 inches apart. Tip Run the 34-inch or 10-inch calibration first, then run the stitch pattern version to fine-tune the media advance accuracy.
Manual X Head Registration Precise positioning of each drop of ink is essential for optimal print quality. This is possible only if you register all printheads in the printhead assembly to each other in the X (along the length of the platen) direction. This is a two-part process: ◆ Print a registration pattern. ◆ Enter the X registration data for each head. Note This is the manual version of AutoH2H Calibration (see “Auto Calibrations” on page 4-7 for details). 1.
+0 +1 +2 Use a printer’s loupe or magnifying glass if the patterns are difficult to see. Fig. 4-1. Sample head calibration patterns. In this example, pattern “+1” is aligned the closest, so “+1” would be entered. 5. Press the , or ) control panel keys repeatedly until the number next to the pattern that is closest to aligned perfectly is displayed.
Manual BiDi Registration Bidirectional registration is a method to align each of the printheads so that dot placement is accurate in both directions along the X axis (along the direction of printhead travel). The bidirectional registration pattern consists of a series of vertical lines. Half the pixels in this pattern are printed in one direction, half of them in the other direction. When the pixels are accurately aligned, the pattern is clear.
Use a printer’s loupe to select the pattern, since the lines in the patterns may be difficult to see. +6 +4 +2 0 -2 Fig. 4-2. BiDi Registration pattern. 7. Press the , or ) control panel keys repeatedly until the number next to the pattern that is closest to aligned perfectly is displayed. For example, if pattern +2.0 is the closest aligned, press the , key to change the display to: HEAD-1 +2.0 If a printhead is extremely out of alignment, there may be no pattern in alignment.
Manual Jet Mapping Jets that are missing or misfiring are usually detected by the AutoJet calibration. Alternatively, you can map out jets manually using the Manual Jet Mapping function. You may want to manually map weak or misdirected jets that AutoJet does not substitute. Tip AutoJet is the automatic version of this calibration (see “AutoJet” on page 4-3 for details). Tip For best results, print the prime bars and purge the printheads as necessary to ensure the maximum number of working jets.
The printer prints a jet map test pattern. Fig. 4-3. Sample jet mapping pattern (Head 1 of 16) ◆ If a line segment is missing or broken, the jet number shown next to it is out.
3. When the calibration pattern has printed, the control panel displays a menu with the following options: ◆ Report individual soft bad jets — enables you to report a “soft” bad jet, which can be automatically reenabled if AutoJet finds it working. ◆ Report individual hard bad jets — enables you to report a “hard” bad jet, which will not be checked or reenabled by AutoJet. ◆ Clear individual bad jets — enables you to clear (mark as good) a jet.
The control panel displays a numeric keyboard that you can use to enter the number of the bad jet. Fig. 4-4. Numeric entry screen 5. Enter the jet number, then press the Enter key. 6. When you are finished entering jet numbers, press the Esc key. The control panel displays the head selection message again. 7. Press , and ) to select the next head number, then press ! (Proceed). 8. Repeat steps 5 through 7 for each head containing bad jets you want to report. 9.
12. When you are finished entering jet numbers, press the Esc key. The control panel displays the head selection message again. 13. Press , and ) to select the next head number, then press ! (Proceed). 14. Repeat steps 11 through 13 for each head containing bad jets you want to clear. 15. When you are finished clearing bad jets, press (. The control panel displays the previous menu.
The control panel displays this message: All reported bad jets have been cleared. 20. Press !. When you have finished mapping jets, the following summary appears on the control panel: x soft jets currently reported bad. x hard jets currently reported bad. x new soft bad jets reported. x new hard bad jets reported. x previous soft bad jets cleared. x previous hard bad jets cleared. where x is the number of jets.
Jet Status Lines Default Registration Data Manual Calibrations This option prints the Manual Jet Mapping test pattern (see Fig. 4-3 on page 4-16) that shows which jets are working, and which jets are out, but does not run the Manual Jet Mapping calibration (see “Manual Jet Mapping” on page 4-15 for information). This option resets all registration data. Since there is no registration data after running this option, all calibration values must be reestablished by running the calibrations.
Calibration Summary These options allow you to print a summary of the Full AutoSet calibration, or transmit calibration data to a log file on the print server. ◆ AutoSet Summary — when enabled, a table of the results of the Full AutoSet calibration is printed after the AutoSet test patterns. When you enable the AutoSet Summary, you can show or hide the detailed calibration data. Fig. 4-5.
Straightening the Media Path For optimal print quality, the media must feed in as straight a line as possible from the supply to the takeup. This can be accomplished by aligning the sides of the media as straight as possible from supply to takeup, and by smoothing the media web as much as possible before attaching it to the takeup. See “Loading Roll-Fed Media” on page 3-14 instructions. Printer assembly also affects the media path.
Linearization As the density of an image varies from highlights to shadows, or from lighter tints to darker tints, the printer should accurately reproduce these areas in a predictable, or linear, fashion. The process of linearization (or color calibration) involves printing and reading color test patches, and calibrating the printer to ensure that the expected and printed densities will match. This in turn will ensure optimal color matching.
CHAPTER 5 Maintaining the Printer This chapter describes how to maintain the printer: Maintaining the Printer ◆ Maintenance Schedule (page 5-2) ◆ Clean the Rail and Bearings (page 5-3) ◆ Empty Excess Ink (page 5-6) ◆ Printhead Maintenance (page 5-7) ◆ Cleaning Clogged Ink Jets (page 5-8) ◆ Set the Printhead and Camera Height (page 5-11) ◆ Calibrate the Service Station (page 5-16) ◆ Replace Ink Filters (page 5-18) ◆ Extended Power Down and Restart (page 5-21) 5-1
Maintenance Schedule The printer is designed for low-maintenance operation. Most operator-performed maintenance is performed on the printheads. Task Description Interval: Weekly or as needed Clean pinch rollers Inspect for ink and dust buildup, if necessary wipe with lint-free cloth moistened with SolaChrome-HR Cleaning Solvent. Clean carriage rail and bearings (page 5-3) Inspect for ink and dust buildup, clean if necessary (see “Clean the Rail and Bearings” on page 5-3).
Clean the Rail and Bearings Bearings (back of carriage) Rail Pinch rollers Fig. 5-1. Location of rollers, bearings, and rail The carriage rail carries the printhead carriage across the width of the platen. As dust and ink accumulates on the rail, the material could accumulate on the carriage bearings (wheels) and cause banding in printed output or noisy (“click-click-click”) carriage motion. Pinch Rollers 1. Wipe the pinch rollers with a lint-free cloth or wipe moistened with isopropyl alcohol.
Rail 2. Wipe the entire length of the rail with a lint-free cloth or wipe moistened with isopropyl alcohol. The rail surfaces that must be clean are the surfaces that touch the carriage bearings. These are the top surface, including the front and back of the front lip, and the side surface, behind the belt. Move the carriage manually or press the Carriage key on the control panel Front Page so you can access and clean the entire rail. Top of the rail Side of the rail (behind the belt) Fig. 5-2.
Outside bearing Rail Inside bearing Cleaning window Fig. 5-3. Carriage bearings, left pair shown 4. Clean the left and right outside bearings. Moisten a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol or water, place it against the left side of the bearing, and manually push the carriage to the left. Then place the swab against the right side of the bearing, and manually push the carriage to the right. Repeat once or twice. Remove any large dust particles you see. 5. Clean the left and right inside bearings.
Empty Excess Ink Ink or cleaning solvent that has been expelled (“spit”) for ink jet maintenance or from a purge operation drains from the spittoons and service station areas to excess ink containers. When the containers fill with ink, they should be emptied. The excess ink container near the service station will need to be emptied when it is full or near full. This can be determined by visual inspection or when the float sensor reports a full condition via the control panel.
Printhead Maintenance Printhead Maintenance The printer uses air pressure to both fill and evacuate ink and cleaning solvent from the printheads. The following functions are available from the menu at Maintenance - Printhead Procedures: ◆ Cleaning Solvent Soak — empties the printheads of all ink, fills all heads with cleaning solvent, and prompts you to cap the printheads. Reverses this process after the printheads have soaked (for example, overnight). See page 5-9 for instructions.
Cleaning Clogged Ink Jets All printers that use solvent-based inks are susceptible to printhead clogging. This is caused by the solvent evaporating and leaving behind the pigments, which is desirable on printed output but not in the printheads! The printer incorporates many automatic and manual features for preventing clogs from occurring, and for recovering ink jets that do become clogged.
◆ Cleaning solvent soak — if a manual cloth wipe fails to recover enough jets, you can soak the thin foam pad that ships with the printer with SolaChrome-HR cleaning fluid, then cap the printheads with this pad overnight as shown (Fig. 5-4 on page 5-9). DO NOT USE ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL ON THE PRINTHEADS. From the menu, select Maintenance - Printhead Procedures - Cleaning Solvent Soak. This process empties the printheads of ink, fills them with cleaning solvent, and prompts you to cap the heads.
◆ Cleaning the Service Station doctor blade — with use over time, the doctor blade that cleans excess ink from the service station wiper blades will accumulate a buildup of ink. This will reduce the cleaning effectiveness of the doctor blade, resulting in “dirtier” wiper blades and more clogged printhead jets. To keep the inkjets clear, regularly inspect and clean the doctor blade with SolaChrome-HR Cleaning Solvent. Dirty doctor blade Clean doctor blade Fig. 5-5.
Set the Printhead and Camera Height The correct head height is critical to output quality. ◆ Lower head heights reduce overspray, increasing image quality, but also increase the chance of the printheads striking the media. Printhead strikes are most likely with adhesive-backed vinyls and cut-sheet rigid media that is not perfectly flat. ◆ Higher head heights increase overspray, decreasing image quality, but also decrease the chance of printhead strikes.
1. Load the media that you want to calibrate. For instructions, see “Loading Roll-Fed Media” on page 3-14. 2. On the Front Page screen, press the (Menu) key to enter the menu system. 3. From the control panel menu, press the ) key to highlight Printer Settings. 4. Press the (Menu In) key. 5. From the Settings menu, press the ) key repeatedly until Head Height is highlighted. 6. Press the (Menu In) key. The carriage moves out over the platen. 7.
Caution Do not allow any part of the gauge to touch the printheads, and do not leave the gauge on the platen after setting the head height. If the gauge is allowed to touch or strike the printheads, the printheads could be damaged permanently and require replacement. 9. Turn the head height adjustment screw clockwise, just until the end of the gauge slides under the carriage. Caution Do not allow the taller surface of the gauge to slide under the printhead carriage.
13. Loosen the three camera enclosure mounting screws (see Fig. 5-8 below). (recessed) Fig. 5-8. Camera enclosure mounting screws 14. Set the camera height. Insert the plain (non-stepped) end of the gauge as shown in Fig. 5-9 below. Raise or lower the camera enclosure so that it touches the top of the gauge. Camera enclosure Fig. 5-9. Camera height measurement point 15. Tighten the camera enclosure mounting screws. 16. Replace carriage cover and screws. 17.
The control panel displays a message asking whether you want to perform a bidirectional (bidi) calibration. 19. Press " to perform a bidi calibration, or ( to continue. 20. Observe a Purge-n-Wipe cycle to ensure that the service station wipers are centered and properly deflected during a wipe. Set the Printhead and Camera Height ◆ If the wipers are not centered, see “Calibrate the Service Station” on page 5-16 for instructions.
Calibrate the Service Station Service station calibration enables you to properly align the service station wipers to the printheads. When properly aligned, the service station wipers should be centered on the printheads. Setting the service station height should not be necessary unless the printhead height is changed by a large amount, or you notice that the service station wipers are not wiping the printheads adequately. Wipers Printheads Look here to calibrate Adjustment screws Fig. 5-6.
6. Press ! (Proceed). The control panel displays a message asking whether you want to calibrate the service station position. If you choose to do so, the control panel walks you through the procedure. Shine a flashlight through the carriage cutouts (see Fig. 5-6 on page 5-16 for location) to see how the wiper at the left and right ends aligns with the printhead above it. Aligned Not Aligned Fig. 5-10. Service station alignment 7. Press ! (Proceed).
Replace Ink Filters The control panel displays a Warning message on the control panel when 20 liters of ink has passed through the filters. Replace all five the filters as a set. Failure to replace the filters when recommended will eventually cause the filters to clog and prevent ink from reaching the printheads. Have a paper towel ready to catch the small amount of ink or cleaning solvent that will spill out of some of the tubes and the filter itself as you disconnect them.
4. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the filter clamp. See Fig. 5-12 for location. Connector Filter Clamp Connector Fig. 5-12. Filter connections 5. Unscrew the hose connectors from filter. See Fig. 5-12 for location. 6. Remove the old filter. 7. Install the new filter into the filter clamp. The filter’s label has an arrow that indicates the direction of flow. Install the filter with the arrow pointing up. 8. Tighten the filter clamp. The filter should be secure, but do not overtighten the screw. 9.
13. Reset the ink float sensors by switching off power to the printer, allowing the printer to shut down, then switching on the power. 14. On the Front Page screen, press the (Menu) key to enter the menu system. 15. Press the ) key repeatedly to highlight Maintenance. 16. Press the (Menu In) key display the Maintenance menu. 17. Press the ) key repeatedly to highlight Reset Reservoir Filters. 18. Press the (Menu In) key. You can reset an individual reservoir’s filter, or all filters.
Extended Power Down and Restart UNDER NORMAL OPERATION, DO NOT POWER DOWN THE PRINTER. Constant vacuum at the printheads is required to prevent ink from running out of the printheads. If the power must be removed for a brief period of time, you can leave the carriage over the service station (not the capping station) to allow the ink, which will no longer be held inside the printheads by the vacuum/pressure system, to drain into the excess ink reservoir.
3. On the Front Page screen, press the (Menu) key to enter the menu system. 4. Press the ) key repeatedly to highlight Maintenance. 5. Press the (Menu In) key display the Maintenance menu. 6. Press the ) key repeatedly to highlight Load Ink in All Heads. 7. Press the (Menu In) key. 8. Load media. See “Loading Roll-Fed Media” on page 3-14 for instructions. 9. Recover missing jets.

CHAPTER 6 Print Server Setup This section of the manual shows how to use the ColorSpan print server to control the printer and printing operations on the server.
Configuring and Controlling the Printer Printer configuration and control functions can be accessed by clicking and holding the mouse over the printer icon. This displays the icon menu shown below: Fig. 6-1. Printer icon menu The following functions are explained in this section: ◆ Status (page 6-3) ◆ Configure (page 6-5) ◆ Control (page 6-7) For detailed instructions on operating the print server interface, refer to the System Control User Guide.
Viewing Printer Status To view the printer’s status: 1. Position the cursor on the printer icon. 2. Press and hold either mouse button to display the printer menu. 3. Select Status from the printer menu. The following dialog box appears: Fig. 6-2.
Printer Status This is the printer’s current state, such as Ready or Printing. Software This is the version number of the printer’s embedded software. ColorMark CMS ◆ Version — the version of ColorMark Color Management System (CMS) software currently installed for this printer. ◆ Ink Type — not detected in software, always ColorMark Gator Solvent Ink.
Configuring the Printer 1. Position the cursor on the printer icon. 2. Press and hold either mouse button to display the printer menu. 3. Select Configure from the printer menu. The following dialog box appears. Fig. 6-3. Printer configuration dialog box 4. Set or verify the printer configuration. This dialog box is described on the following pages. Printer Name This name identifies the printer. It appears under the Printer icon in System Control and in various dialog boxes.
ColorMark CMS ◆ Media — for accurate color matching and/or linearization, specify the media type loaded in the printer. If a print job specifies a different media, the job is routed to the Output Attention queue with a disposition of Media Mismatch. ◆ Width — width of the media, as measured by the printer. ◆ Ink Type — type of ink installed, as detected by the printer. Dithering ◆ Dither Mode — Threshold Dithering is an efficient screening method that produces good results.
Selecting Server Options The following server options are explained in this section: ◆ Configuring the Input Port (page 6-8) ◆ Attention Queue Jobs (page 6-13) ◆ Tiling (page 6-14) For instructions on other server functions, refer to the System Control User Guide.
Configuring the Input Port The settings in this section apply to the printer. You can also specify most of these options for individual print jobs from the Document Details dialog box (see the System Control User Guide for details). Fig. 6-4. Input Port Options Port Name The name that appears under the port icon in System Control and in the Chooser or print queue of the client computer.
◆ Microsoft Windows Network - On a Microsoft Windows Network, the WinLink port name appears as a network printer connected to the server. ◆ Novell Network - On a Novell NetWare network, the system defaults to the print queue selected through the Windows Control Panel. To change the NetWare File Server and Print Server names, click Settings on the port configuration dialog box.
◆ Mural Better — image quality is very close to SmoothTone Full Page, but RIP times are much faster. Switch to SmoothTone Full Page if text or line art quality is too “jaggy” at the intended viewing distance. ◆ Mural Bigger — Mural Bigger prints faster, which produces lower quality at close viewing range. The RIP time is less for this mode than for any other mode. Default Media Size — Select a media size from the popup menu that the server can use if no media size is specified in the print job.
To specify step-and-repeat settings for an image: 1. In the System Control interface, route a port to the Output Hold queue, or pause the Standard port. 2. Print an image to the port that is routed to the Output Hold queue or paused Standard port. After the job has RIPed, it appears in the queue. 3. Open the queue, select a document, then double-click the document listing to open the Document Details dialog box. The Document Details dialog box appears. 4.
◆ Length - when you click the Length radio button, the Step-and-Repeat properties become visible. In the length field, enter the length you want the step-and-repeat pattern to be printed. ◆ Gutter Width - enter the blank space you wish between each image row. ◆ Step and Repeat Offset - enter the offset amount, as a percentage of the image’s width. The offset amount is the amount of space between copies of the image in a row. 5. Click OK to save the settings.
Attention Queue Jobs You can print a job that System Control sends to the Output Attention Queue with a Media Size Mismatch error by overriding the error. When you override the error, the excess image width is clipped (not printed) from the right edge of the image. This allows you to print a file with a custom page size slightly over the maximum print width, without revising and reprinting the application file or loading wider media in the printer.
Tiling The ColorSpan print server provides various image manipulation options, including tiling, scaling, and nesting of images. Refer to the System Control User Guide for detailed instructions. To tile an image across multiple sheets: 1. Click “EPS/TIFF,” then select the “Manual” print mode in either a Port Configuration dialog box or Document Details dialog box of a print job in an Input queue.
4. Select the EPS or bitmap job in the Attention queue. 5. Click the EPS/TIFF Manual button. This opens the EPS/TIFF Manual options dialog box and displays the Cropping tab. If the EPS button is not visible, click the job information button to display the Document Details dialog box. Then select Manual from the list of EPS options. 6.

Color Management Color management is the process of ensuring the accuracy of the colors in an image using a profile of the media and ink that will be used to print the image. Two color management workflows are supported by the ColorSpan RIP: ◆ ColorSpan — uses a ColorSpan format color profile to correct the image on the RIP, and color calibration data to linearize the printed output.
CMYK - Used for print jobs created in the CMYK color space. ◆ TRUMATCH - matches TRUMATCH spot colors and full-color images. ◆ SWOP (Coated) Emulation - emulates the Standard for Web Offset Production color space used for color offset printing onto coated paper stock. Best for proofing applications. ◆ SWOP (Coated) Emulation YA - “yellow adjusted,” provides visually warmer yellow tones, compared to the “SWOP (Coated) Emulation” color space.
ICC Workflow Once sent to the ColorSpan RIP, the profile of an ICC print job cannot be changed, since color correction in this workflow is applied at the client workstation, not at the RIP. MediaSaver is not available for ICC jobs. To use an ICC workflow, follow these steps: 1. Create, then copy and install the ICC profile (corresponding to the ink set and media you are using) to your Macintosh OS or Microsoft Windows based workstation.
In the ICC workflow, this selection applies linearization data only. It does not also apply a color profile, as it would in the ColorSpan workflow. n o Fig. 6-10. Port configuration for ICC workflow 5. Print the document to the port on the ColorSpan RIP that you configured for the ICC workflow. In this composite workflow, do not send the job as separations.
Color Calibration Color control functions can be accessed by clicking and holding the mouse over the printer icon. This displays the icon menu shown below: Fig. 6-11.

This option is only available when ColorMark Color Management System Software is installed. Not used for ICC workflow. No — provides the best possible color correction. Yes — applies no color correction, but instead uses a default CMYK-to-RGB conversion.
Selecting an Output Color Space Your application software and the ColorMark print server software are allow you to select from a variety of device-specific RGB color conversion methods. Matching an RGB output color space, as defined in application programs such as Adobe Photoshop, with its corresponding conversion method will result in more accurate color reproduction and an expanded color gamut. To select an output color space: 1.
◆ If you will be downloading the document, select the working color space in the application’s color configuration dialog box. Note that some file formats may not support the color space you selected in step 1; if so, select another file format or color space. After changing the working color space, you may need to adjust the colors in the document to compensate for any resulting color shift. Select the working color space here (File - Color Settings - RGB Setup) Fig. 7-9.
Specifying Macintosh Device Options Before you print, install the Printing Tools software and fonts as described in the ColorSpan Printing Tools User Guide. You should install the LaserWriter driver that is appropriate for your operating system version. This driver is available on your operating system disks or from the Apple Computer World Wide Web site at http://www.apple.com/. You can set device options from your application, or simply leave all settings to “Printer’s Default.

APPENDIX B Troubleshooting This appendix explains how to prevent and diagnose printing problems and provides information about getting help from ColorSpan. For other software-specific troubleshooting procedures, refer to your application software documentation or the other ColorSpan documentation listed on page vi of this manual. If your printer is connected to a non-ColorSpan RIP or print server, refer to the accompanying third-party documentation.
Troubleshooting Checklist Before you troubleshoot your printer, make sure that it is properly installed as described in Chapter 1, Getting Started. Follow the steps in this checklist to isolate and resolve printing problems. 1. Does the printer’s power come ON? YES: Go to question 2. NO: The following could be the problem: ◆ The power cable may not be plugged into an electrical outlet.
◆ The cable between your computer or network and the print server may not be securely connected at both ends. Refer to the print server manual for more information. ◆ Your computer may not be working properly. Run an application that you know works correctly and print to be sure. ◆ The computer’s port may not be working properly. Print to another output device that you know works correctly (and is not connected to the print server) to check this.
◆ B-4 Head strike — if the printhead is striking the media, check how the media is tracking from the supply spool to the takeup spool. The sides of the media should be parallel to the sides of the printer, with no wrinkling or buckling. If necessary, reload the media. See “Loading Roll-Fed Media” on page 3-14 for instructions. Also check the Media Wizard to see whether the correct media is selected (see “Media Wizard” on page 3-32).
Warranty Claims The printer is covered by a manufacturer’s limited warranty (part number 0700025), which includes the printheads. The piezo printheads are designed to remain in service for the life of the printer. All printers that use solvent-based inks are susceptible to printhead clogging. This is caused by the solvent evaporating and leaving behind the pigments.
Causes that are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty: ◆ Manufacturing defect — when a flaw in materials or workmanship causes a printhead to fail, the failure will be covered by the manufacturer’s warranty.
Diagnostics The printer includes a series of self-diagnostic tests designed to help MacDermid ColorSpan Technical Services solve printer hardware problems. If one of the tests encounters an error, and error message appears, which includes: ◆ Error code — always write down this code for future reference by MacDermid ColorSpan Technical Services. ◆ Brief description of the error ◆ A series of buttons that allow you to respond to the error.
