      Texjet NG Series Printers: Wiper blade system maintenance

      A guide on how to clean the wiper blades and the tank of the Wiper Blade System mechanism.

      The wiper blades are essential parts of the maintenance system. Texjet NG series printers are equipped with a wet head wiping system where the wiper blades pool into maintenance liquid. This way, during cleaning, the nozzles are wet wiped plus the ink doesn’t dry on the blades.

      Wiper blade system maintenance

      STEP 1

      At the NG Touchscreen, go to Menu (three bar symbol at the top right corner). Tap on Maintenance.

      STEP 2

      maintenanceActivate the Empty Wiper Tank toggle button, so the waste pump can start draining the dirty maintenance liquid. You can stop the drain if you tap the Empty Wiper Tank toggle button again.

      STEP 3

      On the Touchscreen go to Menu. Tap on Power ON/OFF. Select Printer so the printer shuts down.

      STEP 4

      Open the middle and the right covers to have access to the Wiper Blade mechanism.

      STEP 5

      A7407902-1With your hand, turn the mechanism to bring the blades upwards. With a swab clean them from ink. Once finished, turn the mechanism again, so the blades can pool into the maintenance liquid.

      STEP 6

      A7407920Refill the tank with distilled water and make sure that the wiper blades pool into the maintenance liquid.

      Note: We recommend following this maintenance routine at least once a week. If your production is quite large, then you can perform this service once in 2 days.

      Tip: If you haven’t cleaned the wiper tank in more than a week, refill and drain 1-2 times more. You can scrab gently - if necessary, the walls of the tank so the dried accumulated ink can be removed.
