1 Overview

This document describes how to clean the imaging oil system from ink sludge etc.

There are a number of situations that call for the imaging oil system to be cleaned, these are some of
the scenarios:

● When the voltage of the cleaning station pump is higher that 24 V.

● When the PIP temperature is too high, or there are scratches on the PIP foil.

● As part of DFS troubleshooting.

● Recommended before installing the EIOS (Economy IOS) or DFS upgrades.

CAUTION: Use protective gloves and glasses when performing these procedures.

NOTE: Make sure that hoses are not bent over.

Where new hoses or fittings are available, replace the existing hoses or fittings, if it will save time.
Always use Teflon tape when installing hoses and fittings.

Always use the correct hose clamps, and make sure to tighten them.

Prerequisites
None

Estimated installation time
