Texjet NG Series Printers: Wiper blade system maintenance

The wiper blades are essential parts of the maintenance system. Texjet NG series printers are equipped with a wet head wiping system where the wiper blades pool into maintenance liquid. This way, during cleaning, the nozzles are wet wiped plus the ink doesn’t dry on the blades.

Wiper blade system maintenance

STEP 1

At the NG Touchscreen, go to Menu (three bar symbol at the top right corner). Tap on Maintenance.

STEP 2

Activate the Empty Wiper Tank toggle button, so the waste pump can start draining the dirty maintenance liquid. You can stop the drain if you tap the Empty Wiper Tank toggle button again.

STEP 3

On the Touchscreen go to Menu. Tap on Power ON/OFF. Select Printer so the printer shuts down.

STEP 4

Open the middle and the right covers to have access to the Wiper Blade mechanism.

STEP 5

With your hand, turn the mechanism to bring the blades upwards. With a swab clean them from ink. Once finished, turn the mechanism again, so the blades can pool into the maintenance liquid.

STEP 6

Refill the tank with distilled water and make sure that the wiper blades pool into the maintenance liquid.
