Usage and Maintains of print head
5.1 Usage of Xaar Printer
1Flush humectants out of print head
To moisturize print head, 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 print head 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.
Cautions:
1. Clean platform for convenient operation;
2. Dont touch the surface of head and socket with hand;
3. Clean the filter with flush solution;
4. Connect a tube on the exit of the head to prevent ink flowing into the socket;
5. Dont touch the surface of head with other objects;
6. Be careful to distinguish In tube and Out tube of the head;
7. 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.)
2Extrude air from the print head

After fixing the head on the head frame (be cautious of the in tube and out tube). Remove the Cap
from the Out tube; positive-pressure clean to fill the head with ink till ink streams out from nozzles.
During the process air is extruded completely from the head.
3Moisturize print head surface

After extruding air from the head, cover the Cap on the Out tube. Positive-pressure clean again 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.
Notes:
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.
15
4Test 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.
Figure 5-1 color blocks for test printing

5.2 Cleanness and maintenance of the print head
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.
2. Print head cleaning

If low quality printing takes place, a positive-pressure cleaning is proper for the head. After positive
pressure cleaning, scrub the head surface with a dry clean stick to stop ink streaming from the nozzles. Be sure
not to use a stick with flush solution to scrub the head surface, otherwise, the flush solution will be siphoned
into the nozzles.
3. Moisturize print head

Use wet keeping frame to moisturize the head if the printers is left unused. Put a clean non-woven fabric
on the sponge of wet keeping frame and drop some flush solution on it because the sponge usually has dust on
it. If no wet keeping frame, adhere a clean non-woven fabric with some flush solution on the print head and
wrap it with a fresh keeping polyester film.

Normally there would be 6-10cm acceleration zone (the distance differs between different size of models) for
the carriage when to start the printing. When the value is 0, the carriage would start to print after the
acceleration. When the value is setup other than 0, the carriage would start to print at the position where
distances on the setup value from the point of the completion of the acceleration. After the printing job is
finished, the carriage will return to the origin position automatically.
The setup unit is centimeter
4 Printing Mode
There are two options in the print mode, such as single direction printing and double direction printing.
Single direction printing would conquer the printing defects caused by mechanism inexactitude to achieve a
better printing result. Double direction printing would increase the working efficiency. The satisfactory
printing result could be carried out after the calibration.
5 Adjust Mode Select
This option is for the printing calibration of the printer. It is suggested to print on 180dpi as the option after
the printer is installed. If a better resolution image is required after the calibration, set this option as the
expected resolution. The system would automatically create the calibration value which can be used in
practical. (In practical operation, more small calibrations might be needed according to the mechanical status)

8 Print Head Group Setting:
This option is applicable for the principia of the compatibleness to the lower lever from the higher level. That
means the system could maximum apply four groups, 16 pieces of print heads. It is can be used in the 16 print
heads system from 1 group to 4 groups. If 4 groups of print heads are applied in the 12 print heads system, the
unexpected result would occur. When the chosen groups are less then the print heads, the group of the print
heads which are at the backside would not working.
Suggestion: Apply the same groups of print head as the system to ensure a more convenience operation and
maintenance.

Same color print heads calibration is for calibrating the print head used in the same color.
ensures the vertical alignment in the printing: see the figure as below:
The calibration
There should be two same drawing after the printing test. According to the difference of the mechanical
status, the two calibration values might be different. In the drawing which was printed from left to right, check the
number underneath the lines, for example K1 and K2, which are exactly aligned. This number would be the
calibration value for the K1 and K2 alignment. Add this value to the value in the box at the left side (see the figure
-
29
below). For example, the calibration value is 4, and the value in the box is 284, so you need to enter 288
(284+4=288) for the calibration. And add the value of the drawing printed from right to left, to the box at the right
side. The calibration method for other color (C,M,Y) and other print heads (2-3, 3-4) is same.
1-3-12
11
Auto Adjust by 180DPI
Under this function, the calibration value of 360dpi or 720dpi would be automatically made from the
