moisturizing position) and does the auto cleaning (may select all colors or one color).
Then P/H carriage moves left to the vacuum cleaning position and does the vacuum
cleaning for 2 times.
2 If pressing F1, the P/H carriage moves left to the clean point. Then clean heads by hand
with a cleaning stick.

1. Flush humectants out of printhead
To moisturize printhead, lots of humectants are injected into the head before it is used. The
humectants must be flushed out for the first using. Before fix the head on the printhead frame,
do the steps as follows: Joint a filter on the In-tube of the head, and then joint an injector--
which fills with flush solution--on the filter. Inject 10-20 ml flush solution to the head to eject the
humectants inside. Then fill the head with flush solution to dissolve the humectants completely
within 5-10 minutes. Finally, flush the head with about 30ml flush solution to eliminate the
humectants completely.
Make sure to operate on a stable and clean platform.
Clean platform for convenient operation;
Dont touch the surface of head and socket with hand;
Clean the filter with flush solution;
Connect a tube on the exit of the head to prevent ink flowing into the socket;
Dont touch the surface of head with other objects;
Be careful to distinguish In tube and Out tube of the head;
Eject flush solution from the nozzles with strength no more than 0.3 kg. (It is better to
hold the injector with single hand and push it with the same thumb.)
2. Moisturize printhead surface
Positive-pressure clean until ink streams out of the nozzles, then scrub the head surface with a
dry clean stick to form a protecting layer of ink on the head surface. The ink on the surface will
stream into the nozzles because of negative pressure.
Never scrub the head surface when head surface is dry, for that will orient air into the
nozzles and shape bubbles in the pipelines and affect the printing quality.
3. Test printing
Design some color blocks as 20x20cm with some image operating software, and set color
luminance as 100%, 50% and 10%. Print the color blocks under test mode and check the print
result. If the print result is normal which means no ink-break and no ink spots on the mediums,
the printer can work normally.

1. Auto Clean: If pressing F4 directly, P/H carriage moves to the auto cleaning position (same

Then P/H carriage moves left to the vacuum cleaning position and does the vacuum
cleaning for 2 times.
2. Manual Clean: If pressing F1, the P/H carriage moves left to the clean point. Then clean
heads by hand with a cleaning stick.
1. Ink replacing
Flush the print head with the original ink first, and then flush it again with new flush
solution, which matches the new ink.
After replacing the new ink, need the professional service engineer to adjust the Print head
Voltage value (within 28V33V) by adjusting the relevant adjustable resistor on PH drive
PWBA, which matches the new ink. See 5.3.8.

Never adjust the Printhead Voltage unless the professional engineer. If the Printhead Voltage
is higher than 35V, it may damage the Printheads.
2. Moisturize print head
A) When printer is left unused in a short time (within 1 day), you may enter the
menu, press to make printer sleeping. After sleeping, you turn off the Printer.
B) When printer is left unused in a short time (within 7 days), you may move the P/H carriage left,
and drop some flush solution into the dry-preventing boxes. Enter the menu,
press to moisturize the heads. After moisturizing the head, you turn off the
Printer.
C) When printer is left unused in a long time (above 7 days), you must clean all heads, pumpsand pipes by flush solution first, then do as the step B to moisturize the heads. Clean steps
as follows:
Clear away all ink of 6 main ink tanks by manual. Then clear away all ink of 6 assistant ink
tanks by positive pressure. After adding some flush solution into the 6 main ink tanks (200
ml/ tank), pump flush solution to the 6 assistant ink tanks for cleaning pumps and pipes.
And then positive pressure flush solution for cleaning heads.
3. Dry-preventing cap and Dry-preventing pipes Maintenance
Usually, the dry-preventing cap and dry-preventing pipes must be clean in every week. But in the
summer, they must be clean in everyday. The clean steps list as follows:
Enter of the main menu and press key, The P/H carriage moves from the dry-
preventing cap. Pressing key, the cleaning pumps pump ink 10 seconds from dry-
preventing cap and then stop. If need pumping ink again, press key again and it pumps
ink 10 seconds again.
Operator has to check the state of the Keep Wet Cap before keeping wet for printhead. If the Keep
Wet Cap aging and stiffen, must replace it with new one in time to ensure keeping wet effect. The
part number ofKANJET-180+ (4C) Keep Wet Cap was 035L99010.The Replacing Steps list as follows:
A) Turn off the printer.
