When a printhead eventually needs to be replaced, the front panel will display a message. CAUTION: Avoid touching pins, leads, and circuitry when handling printheads because these elements are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Such devices are called ESD-sensitive devices. See Glossary on page 192. Electrostatic discharges are one of the main hazards to electronics products. This type of damage can reduce the life expectancy of the device. CAUTION: If you want to remove a printhead from the printer and preserve it for later use, reinstall the cap and plug, but never install a clear optimizer cap or white plug on a non-optimizer printhead. Optimizer printheads have clear caps and white plugs, while the other printheads have orange caps and plugs. Installing the wrong cap and plug can cause irrecoverable printhead damage. Maintenance cartridge The maintenance cartridge cleans and maintains the printheads, and seals the printheads when they are not in use to prevent them from drying out. It is also used to store waste ink. IMPORTANT: Keep the maintenance cartridge horizontal when removing it, to avoid spilling ink. The cartridge contains a roll of cloth, which is used to clean the printheads. You are notified when 92% of the roll has been used, after which the cartridge should continue to function for about another 140 m² (1500 ft²) of printed area. A new roll lasts for about 1850 m² (20000 ft²) of printed area. NOTE: These figures can vary considerably depending on the image density, the print mode, and the ambient temperature. The cloth will be exhausted much faster with a high-density print, many passes, and a hot environment. NOTE: The maintenance cartridge is checked to detect end of roll when the printer is turned on and at the end of each print job. The printer will refuse to start a print job if it detects the end of the cleaning roll. You should then replace the maintenance cartridge with a new one. Condensation collector Vapors from high-productivity printing are condensed in the condensation collector for convenient disposal, avoiding uncontrolled condensation on windows, floors, walls, substrate, and so on. The contents of the condensation collector should not be dumped down the drain, but should be disposed of in accordance with local regulations and site operation. The waste profile datasheet contains the required information for correct disposal; this document is located here: https://hplatexknowledgecenter.com/ applications/wasteprofiles/.
