Regular maintenance guide CAUTION The use of safety glasses and gloves is recommended when performing cleaning and maintenance operations. Always use genuine HP cleaning kits. These have been designed for maintaining high-quality imaging performance and reliable printer operation. Using non-HP supplies may cause poor print quality, printer malfunction, printer failure, or a safety hazard. Daily maintenance WARNING! Failure to perform daily maintenance procedures may result in damage to your printheads and will invalidate your warranty. CAUTION If you need to leave the printer unattended for any reason, ensure that the printer is on, the ink cartridges are full, the waste ink bottle is empty, and media is loaded so that automatic maintenance (performed regularly after the last printing process) can be completed successfully for the time you are not present. If needed, install new ink cartridges. The ink cartridges that you replace can be reused when you return to your printer, if they still contain ink. The ink cartridges must be stored properly and should not be used again if 3 months passed the install by date (on the product label). Daily printhead maintenance will ensure optimal print quality and the life of your printheads. The ink in your HP Designjet 8000s Printer dries very quickly, so maintenance procedures ensure that the ink does not dry in the capping unit, the wiper blades, the ink tubes and printheads. When the following message is displayed, immediately perform daily maintenance procedures: ● Clean the capping unit. ● Check the wiper liquid level. ● Check the waste ink bottle level ● Perform Normal printhead cleaning ● Print the NOZZLE PRINT pattern NOTE Perform the above every day before printing. Always use the specified cleaning liquid and cleaning equipment. 4 Chapter 2 Regular maintenance guide ENWW
