7.To reset the maintenance counter for this task and complete the procedure, press Proceed.
Vacuum bottom of carriage (monthly)
Clumps of ink and debris can accumulate around the printheads, where the service stations
printhead wiper does not reach. This routine uses the printers internal printhead vacuum cleaner to
clean as much of this surface area as possible. This reduces the possibility of ink debris moving from
the edge of the printhead orifice area onto the printhead, which can clog jets.
1.From the printer’s menu, select System page > Tools > User Cleaning and Maintenance),
select Vacuum Bottom of Carriage.
2.Press Proceed to continue.
3.Press Proceed to reset the maintenance counter and begin the procedure.
4.When the procedure completes, clean the wipers as shown in the section 
Clean service station
wiper (monthly) on page 72.
5.To reset the maintenance counter for this task and complete the procedure, press Proceed.
Clean the carriage home sensor (monthly)
The home sensor is located on the user-end of the carriage between the lamp assembly and the
carriage side plate (on the input-side of the carriage). Ink dust and debris can accumulate in the thin
slits of the optical sensor and cause errors.

							NOTE:Users of printers in California must disregard all references to the Printhead Flush or IPA in
the instructions or when displayed on the control panel. Instead, the alternative cleaning liquid
specified at the beginning of this section must be used.
1.From the control panel (System page > Tools > User Cleaning and Maintenance), select
Clean Carriage Home Sensor.
2.Press Proceed to continue.
The printer raises the printhead carriage rail and lowers the output roller.
3.Open the output-side door.
Opening the output-side door will disable the carriage servo, allowing the carriage to be moved
manually.
4.Pull the carriage out from the end of the rail to access the home sensor more easily.
5.Locate the home sensor (A in photo below).
6.Locate the upper and lower slits of the optical sensor.
ENWW Clean the carriage home sensor (monthly) 77
 
						

							7.Using a long cotton swab that is saturated in isopropyl alcohol, clean the top and bottom slit by
inserting the swab into the opening from the input-side of the sensor (versus inserting from the
user-end of the sensor).
CAUTION:Insert the swab from the input side to keep from pushing debris into the slits. Insert
the swab moving from the input-side toward the output-side direction. Do not wipe across the
slits, as this will force debris down into the openings.

8.To reset the maintenance counter for this task and complete the procedure, press Proceed.
Replace the UV lamp filters (quarterly)
Lamp filters keep ink dust and other debris from entering the air-cooled lamp area. If the filters
become clogged, the lamps may overheat, reducing the life of the bulbs. Overheating causes printing
to stop, which can ruin a print job.
1.From the printer’s menu, select System page > Tools > User Cleaning and Maintenance),
select Replace UV Lamp Filters.
2.Press Proceed to continue.
The printer centers the printhead carriage.
3.Remove the original air filters for both carriage lamps (B in photo below).
4.Install the new air filters by insert the corner tabs (A in photo in previous step) under the corner
slots (C in photo in previous step) on top of the lamps.
5.To reset the maintenance counter for this task and complete the procedure, press Proceed.

							Clean the electronics box filters (quarterly)
Electronics box fan filters keep dust and other debris from entering the air-cooled area of the
electronics box. If the filter becomes clogged, the electronics may overheat, causing performance
errors. There are two air intake fans to clean. One is located near the power switch on the user-end of
the printer (input side). The other is located in the middle area under the printer chassis where the
power cord attaches on the user-end.
1.From the control panel (System page > Tools > User Cleaning and Maintenance), select
Clean Electronics Box Filters.
2.Press Proceed to continue.
3.Vacuum the dust and debris from the front of the fan on the input-side of the electronics box
(located behind the user-end enclosure in the area indicated by (A) in the figure below.
If the chassis wheels are still attached to the printer, rotate the wheel out of the way as shown
below.
Figure 9-23  Cleaning the electronics box fan filter on the input side
4.Vacuum the filter (A in photo below.) located under the printers chassis near the power cord
attachment point, and remove dust from the surrounding area.

							Replace the service station wiper (quarterly)
The wiper blade deteriorates with use. Replacing the wiper blade periodically restores the wiping to
optimal performance and wiper height.
NOTE:Replace the wiper according to the schedule in Table 9-1 Schedule of cleaning tasks
on page 57. The wiper replacement schedule is calculated to be frequent enough to avoid the need
for wiper-height calibrations between replacements. If the wipers are not making adequate contact
with the printheads, contact your service provider to calibrate the wiper height.
1.From the control panel (System page > Tools > User Cleaning and Maintenance), select
Replace Service Station Wiper.
2.Press Proceed to continue.
3.Open the service door to access the service station.
4.Move the printhead carriage away from the service station.
5.Remove the screw (A in the figure below) that secures the wiper clamp to the wiper assembly.
6.Separate the two wiper clamp halves and remove the original wiper blade.
7.Install the replacement wiper blade in the orientation shown below.

							8.Secure the wiper blade clamp to the wiper assembly using the original screw.
9.To reset the maintenance counter for this task and complete the procedure, press Proceed.
Drain waste from service station (quarterly)
Waste ink accumulates in the service station until drained. Dispose of the collected ink according to
local regulations.
1.Place the waste ink container (included with the printer) beneath the waste ink spigot, under the
media drive belt at the service end of the printer.
2.From the control panel (System page > Tools > User Cleaning and Maintenance), select
Drain Waste from Service Station.
3.Press Proceed to continue.
4.Turn the spigot (A in the photo below) to the open position
5.After the waste ink has drained, turn the spigot to the closed position
CAUTION:The drain spigot must remain closed during printing and service station use. An
open spigot affects the vacuum level in the service station and will degrade service station
performance if left open.
6.To reset the maintenance counter for this task and complete the procedure, press Proceed.
Clean the media thickness sensor roller (quarterly)
The media thickness sensor is located on the carriage rail, on the user end. Debris on the media
thickness sensor roller can result in inaccurate measurements. Clean the roller to keep the sensor
operating correctly.
ENWW Drain waste from service station (quarterly) 81
 
						

							NOTE:Users of printers in California must disregard all references to the Printhead Flush or IPA in
the instructions or when displayed on the control panel. Instead, the alternative cleaning liquid
specified at the beginning of this section must be used.
1.From the control panel (System page > Tools > User Cleaning and Maintenance), select
Clean Media Thickness Sensor Roller.
2.Press Proceed to continue.
3.Using a lint-free cloth that is saturated with IPA (isopropyl alcohol), clean the media thickness
sensor roller by manually turning the roller with your finger while applying the cloth to the roller
surface.
