HP Latex 360 Printer - Manual (Page 156)

7. Disconnect any cables that connect the printer to a network, a computer, or a scanner.
8. 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 140 ).
9. For correct environmental storage conditions, see Environmental specifications on page 169 .
NOTE: If the printer or ink cartridges are moved from a cold location to a warm and humid location, water
from the atmosphere can condensate 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 condensate 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:
● Service Maintenance Kit 1
● Service Maintenance Kit 2
● Service Maintenance Kit 3
These messages mean that some components are nearing the end of their lives. You can continue printing for
quite some time, depending on your use of the printer. However, HP strongly recommends that you call your
service representative and arrange for a service maintenance visit. The service engineer can then replace the
worn parts on-site, which will prolong the life of the printer.
The benefits of arranging a service engineer's visit when these messages appear on the front panel are two-
fold:
● The printer components can be replaced at a time that is convenient for you, and so will not disturb your
daily workflow.
● During a service maintenance visit, the service engineer replaces several parts at once. This eliminates
the need for repeat visits.
