Epson SureColor F2100 Maintenance Guide - Page 5

Epson® SureColor® F2100 Maintenance AS NEEDED 5-10 Minutes WHY As-needed maintenance procedures are based on actual usage (garment print volume) and can be required in less than a week for extreme 3-shift production, or every few months if usage is intermittent. PROCESS Replace Printhead Maintenance Kit When prompted, replace all three components at the same time. When the end of the wiper component is reached, the printer will stop until replaced. It is highly recommended to have a spare kit on-hand at all times to prevent downtime. Clean Around the Printhead Fabric fibers and ink can build up on the edges of the printhead. If left unattended over a long period of time, it can impact the effectiveness of the anti-drying cap (more nozzle loss) and lead to ink droplets and smudges on garments. Use only the cleaning materials supplied with the Printer Maintenance Kit and avoid any contact with the actual surface of the printhead. Clean Carriage Scale The DTG printing process generates ink mist that will coat the surface of the carriage scale and ink mist air filter. Wipe the carriage scale and replace the air filter when a Replace Air Filter message is displayed on the control panel or D197 errors begin to occur on a frequent basis. Only clean the carriage scale with the printer's cleaning liquid and the lint-free wipe included in the Air Filter Kit. Empty or Replace the Maintenance Ink Tank The printer's LCD panel will prompt you when to replace the tank and it's a good idea to do a visual check periodically. Dispose of the maintenance ink according to your local laws and regulations.
