Maintenance and Troubleshooting
This chapter includes the maintenance and troubleshooting of printer.

5.1Maintenance

The table below shows the cleaning and maintenance schedule.

Interval Task
Daily Check printhead,clean as required.

Clean printer cabinet.

Weekly
Visual inspection of connections and fitting
Clean the EHT block,charge electrode,phase detector and
2000H Printhead gutter tube.
Dust cleaning for cabinet.

5000H Printhead Change inkcore and flush the pipes .

*The actual interval depends on operating conditions and is set at the time of
installation.

Visual Inspection
The following inspections should be performed daily.
Cabinet and Cables
1. Inspect electrical cables and connectors for signs of damage or wear.
2. Inspect the printer cabinet and umbilical cable for signs of damage,wear or
ink leakage.
3. Report any faults to a maintenance engineer.
Printhead
1. Stop the ink jet and disconnect the printer from the mains supply.
2. Release the knurled screw on the printhead by turning it anticlockwise.
3. Remove the printhead cover.
4. If any ink deposits are evident,then clean the inside of the cover.
5. Inspect the printhead and the inside of the printhead cover for any build up of
ink deposits.Clean if necessary.

Cleaning
Cleaning the Printhead
Thanks to the unique clean stop/start system,the printer will operate for a considerable
time before the printhead requires cleaning.However optimum performance and system
reliability will only be maintained if the printhead is cleaned regularly and it should be
inspected daily.
1. Set the mains power button to the off position and disconnect the mains supply
lead.
2. Loosen the knurled screw and check the printhead for a build up of ink deposits.

LEICHUANG TECHNOLOGY (WUHAN) CO., LTD.

 3. Where necessary use a cleaning agent compatible with the type of ink being used
and tissue or a soft brush to clean the printhead.
4. Allow the printhead to dry and ensure that the slot in the charge electrode is clear
of cleaning agent.
5. Refit the printhead cover and tighten the knurled screw.
Cleaning the EHT Block
To prevent build up of conductive pigment,clean the contoured surfaces of the EHT
block.Use tissue and solvent or a soft brush from the recommended cleaning kit.
Cleaning the Printer Cabinet
Periodicity-weekly.
Remove dust from the printer using a vacuum cleaner or soft brush.
Wipe the outer surfaces of the printer using a damp lint free cloth.A mild detergent can
be used to remove stubborn contamination.
Ink and Top-Up Reservoir Replenishment
Periodicity-when indicated on the display
1. Open the ink system compartment door as required.Change the solvent box (on the
right side) or the ink box(on the left side).
2. Check that the part number of the ink or top-up specified on the label corresponds
to that displayed on the printer display.

5.2Troubleshooting

Printer will Not Start

Check the System Status LEDs or lamp stack(if fitted) to determine if a system fault is
present or if user intervention is required.
A. If the red or amber LEDs are illuminated,inspect the display to see if which icons
and supplementary message are displayed.Look at “Printer Status Icons” at Page 26

B. If the green LED is illuminated and the printer will not print:
1. Make sure that a message is selected.Press F2 to enter Select Message menu.
2. Check that the correct print mode has been selected from the Print menu.Look at
“Printer Setup” at Page 19
3. Check that the product sensor and shaft encoder are connected and working(a
lamp on the back of the product sensor should flash each time a product passes the
sensor)
4. If the problem persists,report the fault to a maintenance engineer.

C. If no System Status LEDs are illuminated,check the mains electrical supply as

follows:
1. Check that the mains power button is in the on position(pressed in).
2. Check that the mains input connector is correctly fitted.
3. Check that the mains electrical supply is available.
4. If the problem persists,report the fault to a maintenance engineer.

Print Position Incorrect

A. Check that the Product Delay value set in the Message Parameters menu is

LEICHUANG TECHNOLOGY (WUHAN) CO., LTD.

 correct.Look at“Setting Message Parameters” at Page 12.
B. Check that there are no unnecessary spaces at the start of the message.Look at
“Editing Messages” at Page 10.

Print Size Incorrect

A. Check that the set Character height is correct.See “Editing Messages” at Page 10.
B. Check that the distance from the printhead to the product is correct.Character
height increases and resolution decreases as the printhead moves further from the
product.
C. Check that the correct font is selected in the message.See “Editing Messages” at
Page 10.
D. If the message width appears stretched,decrease the Width value set in the
Message Parameters menu.See “Setting Message Parameters” at Page 12.
E. If the message width appears compressed,increase the Width value set in the
Message Parameters menu.See “Setting Message Parameters” at Page 12.

Print Incomplete
Check that the Printed Dots value set in the Message Parameters menu is equal to the
maximum number of dots required for a raster(26/34 maximum)。See “Setting
Message Parameters”at Page 12.
Check the printhead for ink deposit build-up and clean is required.

5.3Printer Status Icons

The printer status icons are divided into two groups:

• Production running icons give an indication of printer status and when ink or top-up
replenishment is required.
• Printer fault icons give an indication of printer fault conditions. When a fault
condition occurs the printer stops.

Production Running Icons
