Ink Flow Issues (Cont’d)
2.Basic Systems Check (Cont’d)
Whenever you are having a problem with ink flow and your nozzle check is showing poor
performance of a specific cannel or channels check the following areas to make sure some-
thing simple is causing the problem. This is the most common reason and no matter how well
you know the machine we have all missed done at least one of the following:
�
Circulation
If you have not used the machine for 3 days or more you should run the Ink
Circulation manually for 1minute before doing the 2 Head Cleans at startup of the
printer. This will help move the ink around and help remove any gaps or separation
of the ink prior to cleaning. The manual button to turn on Ink Circulation is located
at the front of the printer. Press once to start and once to stop.
If you are used the above basic diagnosis methods and there is still no luck to figuring out
the root of your problem, you will need to move on to the advanced diagnosis methods.
Before trying any of the advanced diagnosis methods, please contact technical support.
We want to make sure things are being done correctly and guide you through these advanced
diagnosis methods.
Advanced diagnosis methods are best done with an understanding of the way the ink flows
through your FreeJet 330TX.
Ink Flow would all begin at the rear of the printer and end at the Print Head. Ink goes from the
ink bottle and then through a Damper and down into the Print Head. This is the direction you
always follow to figure out the issue.
At this point, it should be confirmed that the bottle area looks good, ink level is good, ink lines
look good with no kinks and proper length inside the bottle. The very last thing that can be
checked for before moving to the front of the printer is Ink Sludge. If ink is not used for a long
time or the white ink is not circulated or shaken a thick layer of pigment will begin to form at
the bottom of the ink bottle. This is why we do not have the ink lines running all the way to the
bottom of the bottle.
