      Texjet NG Series Printers: Long Inactivity

      A guide on the recommended actions when leaving a Texjet NG printer series model idle for a prolonged period.

      Long inactivity maintenance

      STEP 1

      Clean the capping stations, wiper blade, and the head guards from ink residue.

      Tip: Check the Shut down maintenance guide for instructions.

      STEP 2

      A7407939Fill the cap stations with cleaner solution, so the heads pool in liquid and their nozzles stay hydrated. Make sure the carriage is electronically locked afterwards. 

      STEP 3

      Fill the White ink tanks at least at 60-70% capacity, so no error occurs during the recirculation.  

      STEP 4

      Make sure the printer stays on power (plugged in) at all times, so the re-circulation of the white ink and the agitation of the tanks and subtanks is enabled. 

      Note: If the area is subject to frequent power surges, a UPS installation is strongly recommended.  

      STEP 5

      The workspace temperature should be monitored, and it should not exceed 28 Celsius degrees (82F) at all times.

      Tip: Use an A/C unit with the Smart Mode on, so it keeps stable the room temperature and saves on power at the same time.

      Recovery

      STEP 1

      Fill the Wiper Tank with distilled water.

      STEP 2

      Wake up the NG printer per usual. Perform a Strong cleaning cycle followed by a Weak one. Check the nozzle test afterwards.

      If there are still a few nozzle missing per channel you can proceed with a second Weak cleaning cycle. If the nozzle test is not properly restored, contact our team for guidelines.

       

      Caution: The idleness should not exceed the 1-month period. If you want to leave your printer inactive longer, please consult with our support team for proper guidance.
