Title: Maintenance procedure for the 9222 and 9232 printers

1 Introduction:

1.1The purpose of this procedure is to document the process for routine and

scheduled maintenance of the 9222 and the 9232 shop floor printers

To keep the printers at optimum performance; routine maintenance needs to be

carried out as per schedule outlined below

Only trained members of staff to perform maintenance activities; if in doubt contact

production engineering

2 Scope:

2.1 This procedure is applicable to all Clement Clarke International respiratory Production engineers, Production manager, team leaders, senior production operators and operatives deemed qualified to carry out this procedure. 2.2Team leaders, senior production operators and operatives must be fully trained before commencement of any maintenance activities.

3 Equipment:

9222 Markem Imaje printer

9232 Markem Imaje printer

Filter kit (A40989) Ink & air filter replacement every 18 months or 10000 hours (Whichever comes sooner) Work can be performed by a trained production engineer alternatively a Markem Image engineer can be called to perform the necessary work. Maintenance kit (A40846) the schedule of the pressure pump replacement is related to the type of ink used 10000 hours for standard ink 6000 hours for special ink. Drainage and flushing of the printer Work can be performed by a trained production engineer alternatively a Markem Image engineer can be called to perform the necessary work. Note: Ink & air filters must also be changed every time the pressure pump is replaced.

4 Definitions:

3.1 As per operation instruction manual

5 Internal / External Documents:

4.1 Internal documents N/A 4.2 External documents N/A

6 Responsibilities:

4.1 Production manager and team leader Operate using Good manufacturing practices (GMP) at all times. Bring to the attention of production engineering when 18 month service of the printer is due this will be indicated on the machine. Adhere to this procedure at all times.

Bring to the attention of the Production engineering department any nonconforming issues.

Effectively implements, monitors & maintains this procedure.

Deals; appropriately with any issues that may arise. A weekly start up and shut down schedule is in place in the cleanroom and must be strictly adhered to unless the machine is in production use. Warning safety precautions

Ink, additive, and cleaning liquids are highly flammable

Wearing contact lenses when handling consumables is strictly prohibited Ink resistant gloves and safety goggles are highly recommended during filling and cleaning operations Fire prevention Never leave containers containing ink, make up or cleaning products or ink soaked rags (even dry) near the printer. Ensure the printer is kept particularly clean, as dry ink deposits remain highly flammable Ink, Make-up and cleaning solutions must be stored in an adequate chemical cupboard.

7 Method:

The 9222 and 9232 printers are a sensitive piece of equipment and must be

maintained in accordance with the manufacturers recommended maintenance

schedules, processes and procedures

Both the 9222 and 9232 show when the machine is due for its18 month or 10,000 or

6000 hour service this can be located on the machine in tools maintenance menu. A

notice is also attached to the machines when the next service is due the machine will

also give notification four weeks prior to the service

9232 ink jet maintenance guide

To keep it in optimum condition; the following checks must be performed diligently

Frequency Check Action

Daily Before start up Remove head cover and check that head and cover are clean

Clean the print head if dirty, leave if all is ok

Daily Before start up Check ink and additive cartridge levels

Check with production engineering

Daily After start up Check print quality Ensure print head is approximately 10mm from product; Check print head is clean, If dirty clean print head and re-check quality.

Daily Ensure printer is shut down correctly at the end of the day as per procedure P3358

If power is cut by mistake, switch back on as soon as possible, even if not currently needed and switch off properly as this will flush the print head clean internally

Weekly Clean the print head If not cleaned daily, it is good practice to clean the print head at least once a week

Weekly Shut down and restart printer

For printers that run 24 / 7 it is good practice to switch off then re-start the printer as during shut down the printer performs an internal flush

Weekly Turn on any unused or spare printers and run for at least 4 hours

If not to be used for more than 15 days; the printer will require a full flush

Weekly General clean of cabinet and check cabling

Wipe over cabinet with damp cloth and ensure all cabling is secure to accessories and mains

Every 18 months or 14,000 hours(depending on ink type)

Printer requires servicing Contact production engineering or alternatively Contact Markem-Imaje when the 4 week warning appears on screen

Then place print head in wash station, remove head cover and spray wash solution over cannon, plates and gutter pipe, also clean head cover if required. It is important to also dry the head with the drier supplied. Now re start the jet and if all ok; replace the head cover

If after two cleans; there still appears to be a blockage, then perform the following routine in the head operations maintenance screen. Additive introduction for 10 seconds while spraying wash solution onto cannon Unblock nozzle for 10 seconds while spraying wash solution onto cannon Check stability for 10 seconds Clean and dry the print head and re start the jet Please refer to production engineering should problems persist.
