Head flushing
The head-flushing process cleans the print head when a printed image appears
very blurred. The flushing process uses more ink than the head cleaning. Please
take the following steps:
1. Select "Cleaning type 2" and the corresponding print heads.
Figure 7.3 - Thorough cleaning
2. Click on [Execute Head-Flushing].
3. The cleaning process is initiated. This can take several minutes to run.
4. After the cleaning is complete, print out a marker card and check the
printing quality. Repeat the process if necessary.
IMPORTANT Repeat the cleaning procedure if the print results are not satisfactory.
It is possible that after multiple cleanings the print heads remain
clogged and the printer still does not properly print. If multiple
cleanings do not solve the problem, shut off the printer and allow it to
remain off for at least eight hours. Then turn it on, and try printing
again. The problem may be solved by allowing the ink to flush through
the heads for an extended period of time.
If there is still no improvement after the steps described above,
contact your local Allen-Bradley distributor or Rockwell Automation
Technical Support.
