Aerosol filters The printheads produce many fine droplets of ink, most of which are placed accurately on the substrate. However, a small proportion of these droplets escape sideways; the two aerosol filters are placed on either side of the printhead carriage to intercept them. The filters should be changed every time the printhead cleaning roll is replaced. They are provided with the HP 871 Latex Printhead Cleaning Kit. Left spittoon The left spittoon is a rectangular piece of foam that allows the printhead nozzles to be refreshed at the left side, before printing a pass from left to right. Change one or two foams from the left spittoon every time the cleaning roll is replaced. The foam is provided with the HP 871 Latex Printhead Cleaning Kit. Condensation collector bottle The printer has a system that collects most of the vapor generated while drying and curing the ink and condenses it in a bottle located at the left side of the printer. You should check the bottle from time to time and empty it when necessary. Consult your local authorities to determine the correct manner in which to dispose of wastes. Waste profile datasheet contains the required information for an adequate disposal. This document is located here https://hplatexknowledgecenter.com/applications/wasteprofiles. Ink deposits The printer can check the firing capacity of each single nozzle. Doing so causes small amounts of ink to accumulate close to the drop detector. This ink gradually forms ink deposits that need to be cleaned. Printheads The printheads take ink from the ink cartridges and deposit it on the substrate. ENWW Aerosol filters 111
