Cleaning the UV Light Cover

Clean the UV light cover at least once a month to remove the ink buildup, or whenever ink on the printed areas does not cure.
Note: On some media, the ink may not fully cure, even after cleaning the UV light cover.
CAUTION:
  • Do not move the printhead by hand.
  • Do not touch the gantry.
  • Do not touch the blue area shown below.

  1. Turn on the printer, if necessary.
  2. Select maintenance > UV Light Cleaning.
  3. Review the on-screen message, then select Start.
    The printhead moves to the maintenance position.
  4. Open the printer cover.


  5. Look up at the printhead, then use the scraper to remove any accumulated ink from the glass surface of the UV light cover.


  6. As the ink powder is scraped off and falls into the printer, use a soft cloth to wipe it off.


  7. Close the printer cover, then press Done on the control panel.
    The printhead will return to its original position.
