CHAPTER 2 Using the Control Panel This chapter describes the functions of the control panel.
Overview The touch-screen control panel shows you the printer’s current status, and enables you to interact with the printer when changing media and ink, respond to an error condition, or configure options. There are three main control panel screens: Ready Screen ◆ Ready (Status) Screen ◆ Front Page ◆ Menu When you press the Online/Offline button from the Front Page screen, the printer goes online and the Ready or Status screen appears.
User Assistance The control panel provides various forms of online user assistance: The ? button provides an explanation of the current function, with some guidance for what to do next. The ATTN (Attention) key blinks on the control panel when the printer detects an error condition, potential error condition, or when you make a change that suggests recalibration or other action to ensure best print quality.
Tip 2-4 See page 2-12 for instructions for choosing an Expert or Novice mode for displaying these messages (Expert mode routes most messages to the Actions & Warnings menu), and for disabling or enabling the audible alarm.
Front Page The Front Page provides access to the most frequently-used printing and maintenance functions. For advanced configuration options, press the Menu key (see “Menu” on page 2-10 for instructions). Fig. 2-2. Front Page Front Page ◆ Printer Name — displays the name of the printer as defined on the print server. ◆ Online/Offline — returns the printer to the Ready screen.
◆ Media & Ink — displays a listing of the media and ink currently installed in the printer. Press the p and C keys to highlight “Media” or one of the inks, then press B (Proceed) to display information about the selection. From this screen, you can press the m and q keys to scroll between screens. Press B (Proceed) to return to the list, then z (Menu Out) to display the Front Page screen. Fig. 2-3.
◆ Status — displays the status of all user-configurable options. Press { (Page) to scroll between pages. To change an option, go to the Printer Configuration section of the menu. Fig. 2-4. Status page 1 Front Page ◆ Advance Media — press the p key to advance the media forward. When you press and hold the p key, the media moves faster. You can also press the Media Advance switch on the rear of the printer, below the left profiler docking station, to advance the media.
2-8 ◆ Print Mode — interactively assists you in installing printheads in the correct positions, and setting the number of print passes. See “Selecting a Print Mode” on page 3-7 for instructions. ◆ Carriage — moves the carriage out of the service station so you can load or clean the printheads and ink tubes, clean the image sensors, and remove the service station.
Navigation Keys The following table shows you how to move through the menu system and perform printer control functions. Key Description v Display Menu — displays the printer menu. p down the menu. x w top or bottom for the menu. z m Menu Top/Bottom — moves the menu highlight to the E Menu Out, Menu In — moves to the next higher menu in the hierarchy, or selects the highlighted option. Back/Forward — moves between pages or screens, or q selects printheads to calibrate.
Menu The menu has three main sections: ◆ Calibrate Printer (see below) ◆ Printer Configuration (page 2-11) ◆ Service Printer (page 2-16) ◆ Warnings & Actions (page 2-18), shown in Expert Messages Mode only This section explains each of the functions on the printer menu. Calibrate Printer 2-10 For details on these options, see Chapter 4, Calibrating the Printer.
Printer Configuration Printer Configuration enables you to set many options that control how the printer operates. Print Settings ◆ Top Gutters — allows you to turn on or off the gutter pattern at the top edge of the print, which shows data about the print such as date and time printed and print mode, plus write-in blanks for other data.
◆ Head Height — sets the height of the printhead to Normal (0.050 inches/1.27 mm) or Custom. Use Normal unless the media is curling or the printhead carriage is striking the media. Lower settings reduce ink overspray, but increase the chances of the printhead striking the media. When the head height is 0.070 inches (1.78 mm) or higher, do not run AutoSet, run the manual calibrations instead. ◆ Space Between Prints — sets the blank space between print jobs, between 0 and 10 inches (25 cm).
after manually winding back a service loop. The default is Novice mode. When in Expert mode, active Warnings, Changes, and Actions can be displayed by selecting Warnings & Actions from the menu, since Warnings will not cause the ATTN icon will appear in Expert mode. See “User Assistance” on page 23 for further information about Actions and Warnings. See “Warnings & Actions” on page 2-21 for further information about this menu option.
◆ ◆ Print Position — positions the print in the horizontal (x-axis) direction, either in the center or flush right. ◆ Media Supply Loop — the supply loop is the slack portion of the media between the platen and supply spool. When the media is backed up to reduce the amount of blank (unprinted) space between print jobs, the result is a supply loop. A supply loop can cause printing anomalies if not removed.
Reset All Defaults Menu ◆ Restore All Defaults — restores all Printer Configuration settings to their factory default values, and zeroes all registration data. After running this option, all calibration values must be reestablished by running AutoSet. ◆ Zero Platen Width — sets the platen width to zero, which forces the printer to measure the platen on the next power up. ◆ Measure Platen — measures the platen width.
Service Printer User Diagnostics User Diagnostics presents an interactive troubleshooting program to diagnose problems before calling MacDermid ColorSpan Technical Services. It walks you through a series of tests and checks for certain printer functions. The printer asks you to make observations or run simple tests to help it diagnose problems and suggest corrective actions.
◆ Dryer Test — runs the dryer heater assembly to test for correct operation. ◆ Print Image on Image Sensor — the printer prints a small set of lines which are scanned by the digital image sensor. Then the printer prints an enlargement of the image as the sensor captured it. ◆ Horizontal Dot Accuracy — for factory/service use only. ◆ Vertical Dot Accuracy — for factory/service use only. ◆ Isolation Print Test — for factory/service use only. ◆ Pod Test — for factory/service use only.
Disable Media Sensor If the media sensor is malfunctioning, disable it to continue printing. Note that with the media sensor disabled, the printer will not be able to detect when there is no media in the printer. Warnings & Actions When in Expert mode, active Warnings, Changes, and Actions can be displayed by selecting Warnings & Actions from the menu, since Warnings will not cause the ATTN icon will appear in Expert mode. This option does not appear in Novice mode.

CHAPTER 3 Installing Ink and Media This chapter describes: Installing Ink and Media ◆ Variable Mode Printing (page 3-2) ◆ Ink System Overview (page 3-4) ◆ Selecting a Print Mode (page 3-7) ◆ Installing Ink for the First Time in a New Printer (page 3-12) ◆ Replacing Ink System Components (page 3-17) ◆ Loading Media (page 3-24) ◆ Cutting and Unloading Media (page 3-32) 3-1
Variable Mode Printing The printer uses these techniques to vary the quality of a print and speed of printing: ◆ Direction — for fastest print speed, the printheads fire ink bidirectionally, when the carriage travels in both directions. To reduce certain banding effects, the printheads can be set to fire only when the carriage is moving to the left. ◆ High quality (HQ) — when enabled, reduces certain banding effects.
Print speed is increased by: Variable Mode Printing ◆ Reducing the number of passes (see “Selecting a Print Mode” on page 3-7) ◆ Reducing the number of different colors or using smaller ink sets (four or six colors instead of eight or more) ◆ Printing with two heads per color (see “Selecting a Print Mode” on page 3-7) ◆ Printing bidirectionally (in both directions); see “Selecting a Print Mode” on page 3-7 ◆ Printing in non-HQ mode (see “Selecting a Print Mode” on page 3-7) ◆ Printing in low re
Ink System Overview The printer’s ink system consists of three main components: ◆ Ink reservoir — a plastic box containing the ink supply and an electronic profiler, which specifies the ink type, color, and amount remaining. The profiler plugs into a connector on the ink tray, allowing it to communicate with the printer and print server. The reservoir is self-contained and seals automatically for easy handing.
The ink system also includes a labeling system to help keep the components of each ink color together: ◆ Color Map Cards — lists all of the supported ink sets, fits in plastic sleeve inside the printer’s top cover for easy reference during installation and printing. Fig. 3-2. Color Map card ◆ Ink Type Label — used to identify the ink type used in each ink tube.
Spare Ink and Printheads For maximum productivity and minimum down time, ColorSpan recommends stocking extra ink reservoirs and printheads. When the ink supply runs low, or a printhead needs to be replaced, having spares will ensure that printing can resume as quickly as possible. Since ink and printhead usage will vary depending on the amount and types of printing you do, experience will help you determine how to stock an efficient spare inventory.
Selecting a Print Mode Before installing ink, report to the printer how you will use the ink you will install (the “print mode”). This is necessary because although the printer can detect which inks are installed, a given ink set may be usable in several different modes. For example, consider an installation of two six-color (C2M2YK) sets of ink.
The control panel displays the Select Color Map screen. At the top of this screen are the color sets that are valid for the number of heads per color you selected. At the bottom of the screen is a schematic diagram showing the placement of the printheads in the printhead carriage. Fig. 3-4.
6. Press the C and p keys to select the color map you will use. The color map diagram changes with your selection. 7. Press D to continue. The control panel displays the Select Passes menu. 8. Press the C and p keys to select the number of print passes you want to use. A higher number of passes produces the best print quality, but a lower number of passes will increase print speed. The default is 8 passes. 9. Press D to continue. The Front Page screen appears. The print mode is now selected.
Switching Between Ink Sets The inks are located in specific numbered locations on the printer for optimal print and color quality. The software ignores ink positions that are not needed for a print mode, so any ink (or no ink) can be present in these positions. This provides flexibility while minimizing the need to swap or reposition inks.
Switching between eight-color and six-color modes, however, does require switching ink(s): 1x6 1x8 2x6 C = Cyan, mC = Medium Cyan, lC = Light Cyan M = Magenta, mM = Medium Magenta, lM = Light Magenta Y = Yellow K = Black CX = Change Ink Fig. 3-6. Possible modes with a 1x8 ink set Caution When changing ink colors, if you change the printhead and reservoir without changing the existing ink tube, ink from the reservoir will mix with the different ink in the ink tube, producing a third color.
Installing Ink for the First Time in a New Printer When you receive a new printer, numbered empty ink tubes are preinstalled at the factory. This prepares the printer to accept ink reservoirs and printheads with any ink type or color set. It also avoids introducing air into the ink, which would occur gradually if ink tubes filled with ink were installed and stored unpressurized (without an ink reservoir connected).
5. If not pre-assembled, insert the drain tube into the connection on top of the drain bottle. Fig. 3-7. Assembling the drain tube to the top of the drain bottle. 6. Place the drain bottle on the floor and tape the drain tube to the dryer tube, providing a descent from carriage-level to the drain bottle. Fig. 3-8.
7. Referring to the Color Map card, place an ink reservoir into its numbered position (1 through 12) in the ink tray. Be sure to insert the profiler into its port in the ink tray. Work with the ink reservoir, tube, and printhead that correspond to one position at a time. This will help prevent crossconnecting components. 8. Referring to the Color Map card, affix the labels showing the ink color and ink type onto the connectors of the ink supply tube (see Fig. 3-3 on page 3-5). 9.
12. As soon as you see ink flowing into the drain tube, pinch the drain tube and remove it from the nozzle end of the ink tube. By pinching the drain tube, a vacuum is formed between the pinched tube and the end of the needle, keeping any residual ink from draining from the needle as it is removed. Fig. 3-10. Removing the drain tube 13. Wipe clean the needle end of the drain tube, and set it aside, keeping the ink inside from spilling out. 14.
After installing one or more printheads, always run AutoSet. See “Front Page” on page 2-5 for instructions on running AutoSet from the Front Page screen.
Replacing Ink System Components Replacing an Ink Reservoir in an Idle Printer This section shows you how to replace the individual components in the ink system: ◆ Replacing an ink reservoir in an idle printer ◆ Replacing an ink reservoir during printing (“hot swapping”) ◆ Replacing a printhead ◆ Replacing an ink tube Replace an ink reservoir when there is insufficient ink to print, or when you want to use a different color or type of ink.
Replacing an Ink Reservoir During Printing (“Hot Swapping”) You can replace an ink reservoir during printing (“hot swap”) only with an ink reservoir of the same color and ink type. Caution When switching to a different ink color or ink type, wait for printing to finish, then replace the ink reservoir, printhead, and ink tube as a matched set. Failure to do so will contaminate the ink system and compromise performance or output quality. 1. Place the new ink reservoir near the reservoir to be replaced. 2.
Replacing a Printhead Replace a printhead when the printer: ◆ When the printer can no longer compensate for missing or deflected jets by increasing the number of print passes, and you cannot recover these jets (see “Cleaning Ink Jets” on page 5-3 for instructions). ◆ When the number of passes required increases print times to unacceptable levels. ◆ When switching ink color or type. To replace a printhead: 1. Wait for the printer to stop printing. 2.
Replacing An Ink Tube To ink trays From printheads Fig. 3-11. Ink tube routing Replace an ink tube when switching ink colors or types, or if the ink tube leaks. You need not replace an ink tube when you change an ink reservoir and/or printhead without changing ink color or type, if the tube is functioning normally. Each of the ink tubes is routed to a specific ink tray position, to enable the replacement of individual tubes without crossing or tangling with other tubes.
1. Wait for the printer to stop printing. 2. From the ready screen, press the Online/Offline button. The Front Page screen appears. 3. Press the Carriage button. The printhead carriage moves out of the service station. 4. Open the printer top cover. 5. Disconnect the ink tube you are replacing at the carriage end. Some slack is necessary to avoid kinking the ink tube when you disconnect it from the printhead in step 9. 6.
tubes through the guide behind the carriage top cover for printheads 1, 2, and 3. Ink tray Tube guides inside the tube chain Tube guides along rear of printer Fig. 3-12. Location of tube guides Caution Ensure that the ink tubes will not be pinched or severed when the top cover is closed. 11. Connect the new ink tube to the ink reservoir. Fig. 3-13.
Caution Always fill an empty ink tube with ink before connecting it to a printhead. Attempting to print with an empty ink tube connected to a printhead will result in enough air to be introduced to cause the printhead to fail. This condition may be recoverable by purging the cartridge of air (see “Purging the Printheads” on page 5-11 for instructions). 12. Connect the other end of the tube to the drain bottle, and place the bottle on the printer platen or floor.
Loading Media Wear cotton gloves during this procedure, or handle the media only by its very outside edges. This will prevent skin oils from being deposited on the media, which could render output quality unacceptable. Tip For best results, use genuine ColorSpan media. Caution Do not store or rest a media roll on either end before loading it onto a spool. This could result in an indentation on the edge of the media, which can be struck by the printhead carriage during printing.
4. Load and secure the other collet against end of media roll. The far-side collet does not have a metal pin. Push the collet into the core, and friction will hold it in place. 5. From the rear of the printer, load the media and spool into the printer’s supply spool holder. Press the home side of the supply spool into the home side holder (on the left from the rear of the printer), then swing the far side of the supply spool into the far side holder (on the right). 6.
9. On the Front Page screen of the control panel, press the Load Media key. The control panel prompts you to press the B key to load media, or n to cancel. 10. Press the B key to proceed. The control panel prompts you to advance the media. 11. Press the p key to advance the media past the front edge of the platen. 12. Press the B key to proceed. This causes the printer to measure the width of the media. The control panel displays a numeric keypad. Fig. 3-15. Numeric entry screen 13.
14. The control panel asks whether you want to use the takeup system. See “Takeup Options” on page 3-30 for details on using the takeup system. ◆ If you will be printing without using the takeup system, or if you will be performing a Media Feed Calibration, press the n key to skip loading the takeup. See “Media Feed Calibration” on page 4-4 for instructions. ◆ To use the takeup system, press the B key. 15. Press and hold the p key until the end of the media reaches past the takeup spool. 16.
Tip The media should be consistently tensioned across its width when attached to the takeup spool. Ensure that the web is straight and smooth from side to side. If necessary, a cardboard core from a roll of masking or other graphic arts tape can be slipped over the spool holder to hold it in place. Loading the media onto a takeup spool that already has some media on it will change the weight of the spool and make it more difficult to inadvertently pull off the media during 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. Wear cotton gloves during this procedure, or handle the media only by its very outside edges. This will prevent skin oils from being deposited on the media, which could render output quality unacceptable. 1.
Takeup Options You can enable and disable the takeup system at the control panel. See Takeup Control under “Print Settings” on page 2-11 for details. ◆ When enabled, before each print job the takeup system automatically detects whether any media is attached to the takeup spool and operates the takeup motor as needed. ◆ When disabled, the takeup motor will not operate, and will not attempt to detect whether media is attached to the takeup spool.
Dryer Operation As the printed output advances past the dryer outlets, the dryer blows air over the output to dry it. The print will continue to advance until the trailing edge of the print has passed under the dryer. The print remains stationary for twenty seconds, then will reverse or advance according to the supply loop option selected (see page 2-14). To cancel the twenty-second delay, press the n (Cancel) key.
Cutting and Unloading Media 1. Press the p key on the Front Page screen to advance the printed portion of the media past the cutter anvil (on the front edge of the platen). 2. From the front of the printer, place a utility knife blade in the cutter channel and draw the cutter across the media. Support the trailing edge of the media as you cut it from the supply spool. 3. On the Front Page screen of the control panel, press the Unload Media key. 4.

AutoSet AutoSet is an advanced printer calibration feature that uses an onboard digital imaging sensor and sophisticated software to detect and compensate for variations in ink jet printing. It can be initiated by the user or run automatically at specified intervals (AutoTune). AutoSet is designed to be a “one-button” calibration, the only calibration you need to run in most cases for superior quality output.
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. In most cases, AutoSet is more accurate and should be used instead (see “AutoSet” on page 4-2). Note Manually performing the component calibrations of AutoSet is time-consuming and can be error-prone, but is necessary when the head height is 0.070 inches (1.78 mm) or greater, or when calibrating transparent media.
Media Feed Calibration This calibration allows you to calibrate the accuracy of the media feed process. You perform this calibration when loading media, or later if prints requiring very accurate length (for example, output that will be tiled) are found to be the wrong length. To perform this procedure, it is helpful to have a magnifying glass or printer’s loupe to examine the test patterns.
◆ Double Lines — alternate method for use when a reference measuring stick is not available 8. Select one of the options and press the E (Menu In) key to continue. 9. Follow the applicable procedure below. 34-Inch/12-inch Calibration 10. Press the B key to continue. The printer asks whether you want to print the media feed calibration. 11. Press the B key to continue. The printer prints the calibration marks, and prompts you to adjust the advance. Fig. 4-16. Media Feed Calibration pattern 12.
Double Lines Calibration Use this calibration if an accurate measuring stick is not available. The panel prompts you to select a printhead to calibrate. 16. Scroll through the printhead numbers to the printhead you want to calibrate, then press the B key. A menu appears listing the pattern versions plus a cancel option: ◆ Fine ◆ Medium ◆ Coarse ◆ Cancel Calibration Begin with the Coarse pattern, and repeat this procedure with the Medium and Fine versions for the best results. 17.
Manual Bidirectional 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 print head 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.
10. Press B (Proceed). The printer prints the calibration pattern you selected. 11. When the calibration page has printed, the control panel displays this prompt: Bidi registration Head 1: 0 12. Examine the BiDi Registration pattern for the current head, and determine which pattern is the closest to perfectly aligned. Use a printer’s loupe to select the pattern, since the lines in the patterns may be difficult to discern. +6 +4 +2 0 -2 Fig. 4-18. BiDi Registration pattern. 13.
15. Repeat steps 12 through 14 for each of the twelve heads.
Manual Head Registration The printer creates images by firing dots of ink onto a sheet of media. Precise positioning of each dot is essential for optimal print quality. This is possible only if you register all printheads in the printhead assembly to each other in both the X (along the length of the platen) and Y (along the length of the media) directions. This is a two-part process: ◆ Print a registration pattern. ◆ Enter the X and Y registration data for each head.
If you need to print a new calibration pattern, press B (Proceed). The printer prints a calibration page. X-direction patterns Y-direction patterns Fig. 4-19. Head-to-Head Registration patterns When the calibration page has printed, the control panel displays this prompt: Take readings from left side of pattern. 9. Press the B key. The control panel displays this message: X Direction Registration Head 2: +0 10.
For example, if pattern +2 is the closest aligned, press the C key to change the display to: X REG HEAD-1 +2 If a printhead is extremely out of alignment, there may be no pattern in alignment. Since the black vertical bars are five pixels apart, you can add +5 or -5 to a pattern number to shift the colored bars right or left by one black bar. Alternatively, you can repeatedly perform an X calibration, which will move the head in smaller increments, until the head is aligned. 12. Press B (Proceed).
Manual Jet Mapping Each of the printheads used by the printer has 512 ink jet nozzles (jets). If any one of these jets is clogged or has a bad electrical connection, print quality may be affected. A certain number of non-firing jets is within the performance specifications of most printers that use this technology. Using a patent-pending technique, the printer “fills in” the pixels that were not printed by the non-firing jets, without reducing print speed.
If you have a calibration pattern from a recent print, you can use it to calibrate the heads. Press n (Cancel) and go to the next step. Otherwise, press B. The printer prints a jet map test pattern for printheads 1-6. ➋ ➌ ➋ ➌ ➊ Fig. 4-21. Sample jet mapping pattern ➊ Head number ➋ Test pattern and codes ➌ Jet number ◆ If a line segment is missing or broken, the jet listed in the same column is out. In Fig. 4-21, jets 263 and 265 are out.
◆ Clear all bad jets — clears (marks as good) all jets currently marked as unusable. Select an option and follow the corresponding procedure below. Report Individual Bad Jets When you select Report Individual Bad Jets, the control panel displays the following prompt: Head 1: Press Proceed to report a bad jet. 8. Press C and p to select a head number, then press B (Proceed). The control panel displays a numeric keyboard that you can use to enter the number of the bad jet. Fig. 4-22.
13. When you are finished reporting bad jets, press n. The control panel displays the previous menu. Clear Individual Bad Jets When you select Clear Individual Bad Jets, the control panel displays the following prompt: Head 1: Press Proceed to clear a bad jet. 14. Press C and p to select a head number, then press B (Proceed). The control panel displays a numeric keyboard that you can use to enter the number of the bad jet. 15. Enter the jet number, then press the Enter key. 16.
The control panel displays the previous menu. Clear All Bad Jets When you select Clear All Bad Jets, the control panel displays the following prompt: Are you sure you want to clear ALL reported bad jets? ◆ Press n to cancel this function, or ◆ Press B (Proceed). The control panel displays this message: All reported bad jets have been cleared. 24. Press B. The following prompt appears: Print Jet Map Page 2 of 2 now? 25. Press B. 26. Repeat steps 7 through 24.
Jet Status Lines This option prints a test pattern that shows which jets are working, and which jets are out. Zero Registration Data 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.
Auto Calibrations AutoSet is a convenient “one button” action to automatically run three different calibrations, but you can also run each one individually, from the Auto Calibrations menu. To evaluate the calibration test patterns visually and enter the calibration values via the control panel, run the Manual Calibrations. For instructions, see “Manual Calibrations” on page 4-3. 1. On the Front Page screen, press the v (Menu) key to enter the menu system. 2.
AutoTune AutoTune runs AutoSet automatically at intervals you specify. When you use the AutoTune scheduler to run AutoSet, AutoSet always performs its three calibrations without prompting the user or canceling due to too many bad jets. You can use the Quality Check Mode feature to handle AutoSet errors, with or without user intervention. To run AutoSet at specified intervals (AutoTune): 1. On the Front Page screen, press the v (Menu) key to enter the menu system. 2.
Calibration Summary These options allow you to print a summary of the 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 AutoSet calibration is printed after the AutoSet test patterns: ◆ Log Head Registration Data — sends head registration data to a log file on the print server. ◆ Log Jet Data — sends jet data to a log file on the print server.
4-22 Jets Unfixed For each print pass mode, shows the number of unfixed jets on each printhead. This number should be zero for all printheads. CP Codes Carriage and Pen Check Codes, for troubleshooting by MacDermid ColorSpan Technical Support.
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) ◆ Cleaning Ink Jets (page 5-3) ◆ Cleaning the Service Station (page 5-5) ◆ Printing Prime Bars (page 5-7) ◆ Manual Priming (page 5-8) ◆ Cleaning the Top Cover (page 5-10) ◆ Purging the Printheads (page 5-11) ◆ Cleaning the Encoder (page 5-13) ◆ Cleaning the Carriage Rail (page 5-14) 5-1
Maintenance Schedule The following types of maintenance are recommended: ◆ Daily and “as needed” maintenance ◆ Printing interval warning — the printer maintains a periodic maintenance clock that tracks the total amount of time the printer has spent printing. After the periodic maintenance interval has been reached, the AT TN key will appear on the control panel, and the user will be advised to perform the periodic maintenance items described in this chapter.
Cleaning Ink Jets Maintenance interval: daily. Before running AutoSet, which compensates for missing and misfiring ink jets, you should clean the jets as described in the following paragraphs to help keep them clear of accumulated ink. The effectiveness of the high-resolution printing process used by the printer can be impaired by printheads that are improperly maintained. Partially clogged nozzles may cause the jets to misfire intermittently, or deflect ink slightly in the wrong direction.
7. Clean the service station as described in “Cleaning the Service Station” on page 5-5. 8. On the control panel Front Page screen, press the B (Proceed) key to park the printhead carriage into the service station. Evaluating Printhead Performance After Cleaning The Jet Status Lines test provides a quick method of determining the effectiveness of (or the need for) cleaning. This test prints a pattern of lines, each segment of which corresponds a single jet.
Cleaning the Service Station Maintenance interval: daily, and when switching between dye and pigment inks. Cleaning the service station helps to prevent dried ink from clogging the ink jets. Keep a replacement set of boots and wipers on hand to replace damaged or worn boots and wipers. Order a replacement kit, ColorSpan part number 0900782, which includes twelve boots and twelve wipers. Boots Wipers Fig. 5-1.
5. Blot any remaining water from the service station with a clean, lint-free cloth. To avoid contaminating the ink, be sure to dry all water from the boots and boot holders. 6. Replace the service station into the printer. 7. Close the service station access door. 8. On the Front Page screen, press the Carriage key. The printhead carriage returns to the service station.
Printing Prime Bars Maintenance interval: as needed. To keep the printhead jets firing properly, you can print solid blocks of ink from each printhead. By inspecting these prime bars for blank bands, you can also do a quick check for nonfiring and deflected jets. Based on this quick test, you may want to proceed to more detailed jet tests (see Chapter 4, Calibrating the Printer, for instructions). 1. From the control panel Front Page screen, press the Prime Bars key. 2.
Manual Priming Maintenance interval: as needed. If you discover that an excessive number of jets are out on a printhead (after cleaning or printing the prime bars or other test), you can attempt to recover jets by performing a manual prime. This procedure requires a special priming bulb, included with the printer. Each prime will expel approximately 1 ml of ink. To keep ink counting as accurate as possible. you will report the number of primes to the printer via the control panel. Fig. 5-2.
4. Depress and release the priming bulb to prime the printhead. 5. On the control panel, report how many primes you performed. 6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other printheads needing manual priming. 7. Close the service station access door. 8. Press the B key to return the carriage to the home position.
Cleaning the Top Cover Maintenance interval: as needed. The printer’s top cover is designed to protect you from the printhead when it is moving (it moves very fast during printing) and reduce noise, while providing an unobstructed view of the print area. Careful cleaning when needed, according to the following guidelines, will preserve the cover’s appearance: 5-10 ◆ Do not use cleaners that contain ammonia (such as glass cleaner) or alcohol. ◆ Do not use paper towels or abrasive cloths or pads.
Purging the Printheads Maintenance Interval: as needed. Since removing, purging, replacing, and recalibrating a printhead is a time-consuming process, purge all printheads currently installed in the carriage in a single session. To perform this process, you will need the purge clip, included with the printer, and paper toweling to blot the ink that will come out of the printhead during purging. You may also want to wear gloves to avoid staining them with ink. 1. Return to the Front Page screen. 2.
10. Gently press and hold the purge bulb until ink emerges from the jet orifice plate with no air bubbles. Be sure that the hole on the end of the purge bulb is sealed with your finger as you press. Blot the ink with a paper towel, but do not wipe (wiping could clog the ink jets). 11. Disconnect the ink tube from the printhead. 12. Reconnect the ink tube its clips and connector on the printhead carriage. Match the number label on each ink tube to the number molded into the plastic holder assembly.
Cleaning the Encoder Maintenance interval: at Maintenance Clock Alarm. The encoder strip allows the printer to precisely locate the printhead carriage across the width of the platen. If the encoder becomes dirty with paper dust or ink, the printer cannot print accurately, and print quality will suffer. The encoder strip ➊ is a clear plastic strip, imprinted with a precision encoding pattern, and mounted horizontally along the rail ➋.
Cleaning the Carriage Rail Maintenance interval: at Maintenance Clock Alarm. The carriage rail carries the printhead carriage across the width of the platen. If dust or other particles accumulate on the rail, the material could accumulate on the carriage wheels (bearings) and cause banding in printed output or noisy carriage motion. To clean the rail, wipe it with a water-moistened cloth or paper towel. Be sure to remove any excess water from the rail before resuming printing.

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.
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.

Table B-1. Actions and Warnings W-MD-4 Media Advance/Drive Too Media advance motor is too slow. Slow Determine the cause of the drag on the media advance servo motor. Listen for unusual noises coming from the grit roll shaft which might indicate sticking or binding. Advance the media with a supply loop in the media supply to eliminate media supply spool tension problems. As a last resort, disengage the motor from the grit roll shaft gear and attempt a media advance.
Table B-1. Actions and Warnings W-PC-3 - Head Height Changed Recalibrate Change in head height has invalidated calibration. Run AutoSet (page 2-7). W-PC-4 - AutoJet - Jets Not Mapped Out Not all missing jets could be replaced. Prime/clean printheads (page 5-3), or increase number of passes (page 3-7). The primer door is open. Close the primer door. The printheads should be purged. Purge all printheads (page 5-11). Calibration was reset or not performed. Calibrate media advance (page 4-4).
Table B-1. Actions and Warnings A-TU-2 - Takeup Stall The takeup motor has stalled. Check for mechanical interference or binding, overloaded spool, out of balance spool, or failure in electronics or motor. W-TU-1 - Takeup Nearly Full The media takeup spool is almost full. Unload the takeup spool and reload media (page 3-24). W-TU-2 - Takeup Connected - Slipping The media takeup core is slipping. Reload the media (page 3-24).
Banding This is an explanation of the varieties of banding that may occur in output from the DisplayMaker Mach 12.The names applied to the banding here are also an attempt to generate a common language for describing and discussing types of banding. Stitch Banding “Stitch banding” results from inaccurate media advance and/or inaccurate head-to-head Y-axis registration. It can be described as regularly appearing bands, equally spaced according to the width of the print swath.
3. Confirm that the service station algorithm under Menu Configure Printer - Printer Settings - Service Station is set to 30 Second Spit & Wipe. Supply-Loop Banding Supply-loop banding results from calibrating the printer with no supply loop present, but printing actual jobs with a supply loop. The tension on the media supply and the force necessary to pull media from the supply are factors in the media advance calibration.
Texture Banding Texture banding results from either unexpected changes in head height during printing, or failure to recalibrate after an intentional head height change. An accurately calibrated engine will produce random, equally distributed concentrations of dots, regardless of the intensity of coverage. A change to the head height without corresponding recalibration of bidirectional accuracy results in overall graininess and banding patterns. To eliminate or reduce texture banding: 1.
