Cleaning the UV-LED Device
Clean the irradiation surfaces of the UV-LED device when it becomes dirty due to ink and dust.
If the irradiation surfaces are blocked with adhering dirt or ink, ink will not be appropriately hardened, resulting in uneven printing.
Perform cleaning of the UV-LED device only after it has cooled completely.
Failure to wait until the LED UV device cools completely may cause burns.
Be sure to put on protective gloves and UV protective eyewear before performing this work.
Ink may drop or scatter.
- The print-head carriage needs to be moved during cleaning. Do not place anything on the table.
- If the glass on the irradiation surface is damaged, the parts need to be replaced. If dirt cannot be removed or adhering ink is hardened, contact your authorized dealer.
Check that the print-head carriage has returned to the maintenance station. If the machine detects an intrusion into the movable range of the print-head carriage while the carriage is not in the maintenance station, the safety protection function is activated to stop the machine.Safety Protection Function
