Process Wax Paper and Use of the [Wax mode] Setting
Introduction
Wax paper and print quality issues
The printer can handle wax paper. Wax paper is a type of paper that is made moisture-proof
through the application of wax. When you use wax paper, the system can become polluted,
which can lead to undesired print quality issues. To solve this, a [Wax mode] function is available
on the printer. It is advised to use the [Wax mode] in case of problems with processing wax
paper. Then the system will be cleaned automatically after printing wax paper. It is advised to
enable the [Wax mode] only when you process wax paper. Afterwards, the function should be
disabled.
The wax modes
The printer has two wax modes that help you to solve print quality issues with wax paper. Each
wax mode consists of two steps:
1. Safe preheating of the system to prevent the deposition of wax.
2. After printing, the printer remains in the stand-by mode to decompose the remaining wax.
Differences between wax mode [1] and [2]
• Wax mode [2] requires a higher start-up temperature, which increases the start-up time of the
printer.
• Wax mode [2] requires more time for the decomposition of the wax.
Important information about the cleaning process
The more wax paper you print, the longer the printer needs to decompose the wax. For an
optimal performance of the wax mode, do not print more than 50,000 sheets of wax paper. If you
must print more, first let the printer run in stand-by mode to decompose the wax, or carry out
print jobs that do not require wax paper.
After processing wax paper, do not switch off the printer manually or put the printer into the
sleep mode manually. Leave the printer in stand by-mode to allow the cleaning of the wax
components. After maximum 2 hours in the stand-by mode, the printer will switch to the sleep
mode automatically. If these two hours were not enough to decompose all the wax, the machine
remains stand-by after the next job, until all the wax is cleaned.
When to do
• Select wax mode [1] when you have print quality issues with wax paper.
• Only select wax mode [2] when wax mode [1] is not sufficient to solve the print quality issues.
