Clean the exterior of the printer Use a damp sponge or a soft cloth and a mild household cleaner such as non-abrasive liquid soap to clean the outside of the printer and all other parts of the printer that you regularly touch as part of normal operation. There may be some dampness from condensation under the fans of the curing module, which should be wiped with a dry cloth. HP recommends wearing gloves for this task. WARNING! To avoid an electric shock, make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged before you clean it. Do not let water get inside the printer. CAUTION: Do not use abrasive cleaners on the printer. Move or store the printer If you need to move your printer or store it for an extended period of time, prepare it correctly to avoid possible damage. 1. Do not remove the ink cartridges, printheads or maintenance cartridge. 2. Make sure you empty the condensation collector. Remember to connect the cap to the condensation collector after emptying it. 3. Make sure that no substrate is loaded. 4. Make sure that the printhead carriage is located in the service station (at the right end of the printer). 5. Make sure that the Ready message appears on the front panel. 6. Turn off the power by using the power button on the front panel. 7. Also switch off the power switch at the rear of the printer. 8. Disconnect any cables that connect the printer to a network, a computer, or a scanner. 9. If you intend to turn the printer upside down or on its side, first remove the maintenance cartridge (see Replace the maintenance cartridge on page 159). 10. For correct environmental storage conditions, see Environmental specifications on page 189. NOTE: If the printer or ink cartridges are moved from a cold location to a warm and humid location, water from the atmosphere can condense on the printer parts and cartridges and can result in ink leaks and printer errors. In this case, HP recommends that you wait at least 3 hours before turning on the printer or installing the ink cartridges, to allow the condensation to evaporate. Service maintenance During the life of your printer, components that are used constantly can wear out. To avoid having these components degrade to the point that the printer breaks down, the printer keeps track of various parameters such as the line sensor degradation, the number of cycles that the carriage makes across the axis of the printer, and the total quantity of ink used. The printer uses these numbers to track the need for service maintenance, and displays one of the following messages on the front panel: 168 Chapter 7 Hardware maintenance ENWW

5.
Remove the closed 95% ethanol container and the cotton swabs from the vicinity of the printer.
6.
Wait three or four minutes to let the ethanol evaporate, before turning on the printer and reloading the
substrate.
Clean the exterior of the printer
Use a damp sponge or a soft cloth and a mild household cleaner such as non-abrasive liquid soap to clean the
outside of the printer and all other parts of the printer that you regularly touch as part of normal operation.
There may be some dampness from condensation under the fans of the curing module, which should be wiped
with a dry cloth. HP recommends wearing gloves for this task.
WARNING!
To avoid an electric shock, make sure that the printer is turned off and unplugged before you clean
it. Do not let water get inside the printer.
CAUTION:
Do not use abrasive cleaners on the printer.
Move or store the printer
If you need to move your printer or store it for an extended period of time, prepare it correctly to avoid possible
damage.
1.
Do not remove the ink cartridges, printheads or maintenance cartridge.
2.
Make sure you empty the condensation collector. Remember to connect the cap to the condensation
collector after emptying it.
3.
Make sure that no substrate is loaded.
4.
Make sure that the printhead carriage is located in the service station (at the right end of the printer).
5.
Make sure that the
Ready
message appears on the front panel.
6.
Turn off the power by using the power button on the front panel.
7.
Also switch off the power switch at the rear of the printer.
8.
Disconnect any cables that connect the printer to a network, a computer, or a scanner.
9.
If you intend to turn the printer upside down or on its side, first remove the maintenance cartridge (see
Replace the maintenance cartridge
on page

).
10.
For correct environmental storage conditions, see
Environmental

.
NOTE:
If the printer or ink cartridges are moved from a cold location to a warm and humid location, water from
the atmosphere can condense on the printer parts and cartridges and can result in ink leaks and printer errors. In
this case, HP recommends that you wait at least 3 hours before turning on the printer or installing the ink
cartridges, to allow the condensation to evaporate.
Service maintenance
During the life of your printer, components that are used constantly can wear out.
To avoid having these components degrade to the point that the printer breaks down, the printer keeps track of
various parameters such as the line sensor degradation, the number of cycles that the carriage makes across the
axis of the printer, and the total quantity of ink used.
The printer uses these numbers to track the need for service maintenance, and displays one of the following
messages on the front panel:
