Page 125: How To Determine Media Advance Correction
How to Determine Media Advance Correction How to Determine Media Advance Correction Introduction As roll media passes over the capstan, the stress can cause the thickness to deviate from its ideal, non-stressed state. This deviation can result in incorrect capstan encoder readings, and lead to discrepancies in the amount the media advanced during each print swath.
Page 126 How to Determine Media Advance Correction Before you begin If roll media is not correctly loaded, banding that looks like under/over stepping can result. If a media shows significant tension deviation across its width, or if it telescopes significantly (identifiable by the edges of the media on the Take-up roll), it is difficult to accurately find the correct MACF.
Page 127 How to Determine Media Advance Correction Note: With some media, the more dense (darker) colors may still show thin lines when the correction factor is close to being correct (due to edge of swath banding); in this case it may be wise to use the lighter colors to calibrate the correction factor. Apply the Optimal MACF to the Current Media The above procedure provides two values where neither white gaps nor dark lines are present.

Arizona 200/250 GT Ink Arizona 200/250 GT Ink Introduction The Arizona 200/250 GT uses UV-curable inks including Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black. Due to the UV curing technology, the ink dries immediately, but can take up to 24 hours to cure fully. In most cases, the printed material may be handled or cut directly after printing.
Page 135 Arizona 200/250 GT Ink block and printheads. An internal thermostat on each printhead and one on the reservoir block provides temperature feedback. The condition of the printheads is maintained by periodic cleaning at the maintenance station on the gantry. During this procedure the operator suctions the printhead nozzle plates, removing ink and possible contaminates in the process (details of this procedure are available in the Maintenance sectionPrinthead Maintenance).
Page 136 Arizona 200/250 GT Ink Illustration [76] [76] Ink Bay With Bags Ink Filters The Arizona 200/250 GT ink system is protected from contaminants in the ink by means of four ink filters. These are easily accessed and can be replaced by the end-user when they become blocked with debris.

Page 146: Maintenance Guidelines
Maintenance Guidelines Maintenance Guidelines Introduction The Arizona 200/250 GT operator is responsible for the regular maintenance of the printer. This section provides detailed information about what is required for proper printer maintenance. While Océ Display Graphics Systems furnishes guidelines for periodic maintenance, the optimum maintenance schedule evolves from careful observation of your printer over a period of use.
Page 147 Maintenance Guidelines Note: Do not bump the carriage or gantry as this can cause dropouts in the printhead nozzles. A hard bump can break the miniscus vaccum in the ink lines and thus allow air into the lines, which blocks the nozzle until a purge is performed. Also some procedures, such as Printhead Maintennce, require that you slide open the door to access the maintenance station.
Page 148: Maintenance Procedures
Printhead Maintenance Maintenance Procedures Printhead Maintenance Introduction The Maintenance Station is located below the carriage. Printhead Maintenance takes place while the carriage is parked. The station is covered by a sliding door that has an open grid in the center that allows any waste ink to drip down through the station and into the waste tray.
Page 149 Printhead Maintenance Before you begin Make sure the carriage is in the parked position. The carriage and gantry automatically return to this position after an image is printed. Do not move the carriage or gantry from this position as this will disable the ink pumps and thus prevent the performance of an ink purge, which is necessary for printhead maintenance.
Page 150 Printhead Maintenance Switch 1 to purge ink Switch 2 to raise carriage Switch 3 to activate suction pump Illustration [78] [78] Maintenance Station Switches How To Perform Maintenance Verify that the ink temperature is at least 40° Centigrade (140° Fahrenheit) before you begin printhead maintenance.
Page 151 Printhead Maintenance Press switch 3 to turn on the suction pump. Pick up the suction-head from the tray at the left end of the maintenance station. Wipe the suction-head with a new, clean lint-free wipe to remove any particles that could damage the nozzles in the printheads.
Page 152 Printhead Maintenance Note: During maintenance, be careful not to touch the nozzle plates as this can damage the printhead. Slide the maintenance station cover back to its closed position. The carriage will move back to its previous print-ready height. Printer is now ready to print images. Check Print Quality Print a Nozzle Check to see if any nozzles are out.
Page 153: Clean Carriage Underside
Clean Carriage Underside Clean Carriage Underside Introduction To maintain optimal print quality, it is important to periodically clean the underside of the carriage to remove any excess ink. If the buildup of ink is excessive, it can be transferred to media and thus reduce print quality. When to do As part of the daily maintenance at the start of the day, or as needed, clean any ink that has accumulated on the underside of the carriage.
Page 154 Clean Carriage Underside Illustration [81] [81] Ink Removal Technique How to Clean the Carriage Underside Slide the maintenance station cover plate out from under the carriage to reveal the maintenance station. Press switch 2 to raise the carriage to its maximum height. Wrap a clean poly wipe cloth around your index finger.
Page 155: Swab Printheads
Swab Printheads Swab Printheads Introduction To ensure optimal print quality, it is important to periodically clean the printheads with a swab to remove any excess ink or any debris that was not removed by Printhead Maintenance. Purpose Important Caution: To maintain print quality it is very important to swab the printheads at least once a week, or more frequently, if required.
Page 156 Swab Printheads Attention: Never "scrub" the printhead with a swab as this will drag debris into other nozzles. Always slowly move the swab across the printhead with the swab at an angle and not perpendicular to the printhead. Never use Isopropyl alcohol to clean the printheads. Do not allow swabs to be contaminated with any dust or dirt prior to use.
Page 157 Swab Printheads Note: If the problem persists, you can swab multiple times. Use a new clean side of the swab each time (this means a maximum of two swipes per swab). It is possible that as many as ten swipes can be required. Run another nozzle check, if necessary.
Page 158: Clean Uv Lamp Filters
Clean UV Lamp Filters Clean UV Lamp Filters Introduction The top of the assemblies that house the left and right UV lamp cartidges contains a filter that can cause overheating of the lamps if it becomes clogged with dust or debris.
Page 159: Remove Ink From The Table
Remove Ink From the Table Remove Ink From the Table Introduction How often you need to perform these procedures will vary, depending on printer usage and work habits. Remove Ink from Table Clean ink from the table whenever necessary. Once UV ink is cured, the best method for removing it from the table is to use a scraper (it is also possible to achieve good results with a razor blade that is set into a handle/holder).
Page 160: Empty The Ink Waste Tray
Empty the Ink Waste Tray Empty the Ink Waste Tray Introduction The waste tray is located below the Maintenance Station. It accumulates ink that has dripped from the printheads or ink waste that results from a purge when performing Printhead Maintenance or Swabbing the Printheads. The ink drops onto a sloped drain plate at the base of the Maintenance Station and drains from there into the waste tray.
Page 161 Empty the Ink Waste Tray Turn the valve on the waste tray until it starts to drain the waste material. Shut off the valve when ink no longer drains out (or if the container become full). Note: The valve closes clean (drip free) but because it has long pipe use a piece of cloth or paper to wipe it clean as some ink can remain inside and drip out later when the printer is in motion.
Page 162: Fill The Coolant Reservoir
Fill the Coolant Reservoir Fill the Coolant Reservoir Introduction The coolant is a thermal fluid used to maintain the temperature of the ink in the printheads and ink reservoirs on the carriage. Temperature control of the ink is required in order to achieve the correct ink viscosity, which affects the jetting velocity of the ink and thus the quality of printed images.
Page 163 Fill the Coolant Reservoir Required tools Syringe (supplied with Starter kit) Wear gloves (coolant will not harm the skin, but gloves are recommended). Coolant Illustration [83] [83] Fill Coolant Reservoir Fill the Coolant Reservoir Open the container of coolant fluid. Insert the syringe into the fluid and draw back the plunger until the syringe is almost full (leave a small amount of air so that you can expel it at the end to avoid fluid dripping from the fill nozzle.
Page 164: Clean Gantry Rails
Clean Gantry Rails Clean Gantry Rails Introduction Dust and debris can accumulate on the gantry rails, which run along the length of the table. The bearings that run on the rails are equipped with shields that are designed to keep debris from entering the bearing housing. After a period of time and use, debris can accumulate on the outside of the bearing shields as the gantry travels along the table.
