Description

This video shows the periodic maintenance for the printer that should be performed when mist is built up in the printer. This method is also used in troubleshooting when carriage slow down occurs or breaking issue type errors occur. If the process cannot be completed within 20 minutes as the video states please turn the printer back on and program a normal cleaning for all heads then resume the cleaning/greasing process you are working on. Do not leave the printer with the heads undocked for more than 20 minutes. After any cleaning or greasing process you will need to perform the adjustments performed in Part 6.
