1-1
1 Introduction and Safety Information
Scope of This Guide
This users guide describes user maintenance procedures for your Arizona 30 Sign Printer. These
maintenance procedures are integral to the functioning of the printer. Before using or
performing maintenance on your Arizona 30 Sign Printer, you must thoroughly read and
understand the accompanying Arizona 30 Sign Printer User Guide (47917) and Arizona 30 Sign
Printer Maintenance Procedures Quick Reference Card (47813).
Important Safety Information For All Personnel
Ink Safety
The Arizona 30 uses solvent-based inks and the liquid and the fumes are both combustible. The
inks may:
§ cause eye irritation
§ cause skin irritation upon prolonged or repeated contact
§ be absorbed through the skin
§ cause respiratory system irritation
§ cause nervous system impairment
Read and practice safety guidelines as outlines in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for
each ink. Post the MSDS in the work area.
Personal Safety
Any person handling inks should wear butyl rubber gloves, a protective apron, an NIOSH-
approved respirator (half-mask organic vapor respirator) and safety glasses with side shields.
Dealing With Ink Spills on Surfaces
Observe precautions as noted above. Ventilate the area. Contain the spill and cover with
absorbent material. Collect spilled material and clean up residue with water. Place all waste in a
closed container; never release to sewer or waterways. Incinerate in an appropriate hazardous
waste facility.
Dealing With Ink Spills on Persons
Eye contact: immediately flush eyes with large volume of clean water. Get immediate medical
attention.
Skin contact: flush skin with large volume of clean water. If irritation persists, seek medical
attention.

1-2
Inhalation: remove person to fresh air. If not breathing, send for medical assistance and
administer artificial respiration. If breathing with difficulty, get immediate medical attention.
Swallowed: call a physician/poison control agency immediately. Only induce vomiting at the
instructions of a physician. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Mechanical Safety
The dryer on the front of the Arizona 30 gets very warm to the touch. Although it is not likely
to cause burns, it has 3 warning stickers that change from yellow to red as its temperature
increases.
Electrical Safety
Unless specifically directed, never perform any maintenance work inside the printer without
first disconnecting it from the power supply by unplugging the power cord from the wall
socket.

2 Maintenance Schedule and Procedures
Maintenance Schedule
The Arizona 30 requires regular user maintenance as well as periodic scheduled cleanings. The
few minutes spent performing simple maintenance procedures help to ensure high print quality
and long life of your machine’s parts. The printer is designed to give you easy access to the areas
requiring regular maintenance. Diligent application of this routine will ensure optimum
performance from your printer.

Ink Tanks Inspect visually; add ink as needed. Daily, as needed
Waste Bottle Monitor visually; replace as needed. Daily, as needed
Print Heads Nightly Shutdown Procedure. Each evening
Print Heads Weekend Shutdown Procedure. Weekly

As needed
Table 2-1. Routine Maintenance Schedule.
Who Should Perform Maintenance?
If your site already has a technician in charge of printer maintenance, this person is the optimal
candidate. While routine maintenance may be performed by any user, the best maintenance
results from familiarity with the printer’s internal operation and history.
CAUTION Use the proper protective gloves and only a lint-free cloth saturated with
isopropyl alcohol when cleaning surfaces on the Arizona 30 (i.e. sheet metal
frame, lids, ink tanks, vacuum platen and maintenance station).
Maintenance Procedures
Replacing the Waste Bottle
The level of fluid in the waste bottle will need to be monitored during printer use. When the
absorbent material in the bottle becomes saturated with ink and solvent, you must replace the
waste bottle with an approved Océwaste bottle (p/n 25000-25). Use caution while performing
this function and wear latex gloves and eye protection. Always dispose of the used waste bottle
in accordance with local disposal laws.
1. Turn off the printer.

2. Unscrew the top of the waste bottle installed on the printer.
3. Unscrew of the cap on the new waste bottle.
4. Screw the top, which is still connected to the printer, to the new waste bottle.
5. Use the extra cap to seal the used waste bottle.
6. Dispose of the used bottle promptly and in accordance with local regulations.
Filling the Ink Tanks
1. From the rear of the printer, remove the black rubber caps from the six ink tanks along the
top of the right side cover.
2. Fill each of the six ink tanks with the correct color of ink (Figure 5-2). To prevent ink spills,
only fill to about 0.5”(13 mm) below the rim.
3. After filling, replace the black rubber caps.
Figure 2-1. Ink tanks and their respective ink colors
Starting Up
1. Set the RUN/CLEAN switch (Figure 2-2) to RUN.
2. Turn on the printer and let it home over a clean roll of media.
3. Press F2 to move the print head carriage out of the maintenance station.
4. Unfold a blotting cloth once (for 2 overlapping layers) and soak it with CGS 80. Insert it
carefully under the print head carriage.

Figure 2-2. Rear view of right cover.
5. Pressure prime each ink line (Figure 2-3) until all air and solvent clears from the tube
connecting the reservoir and print head. This usually requires applying air pressure for
approximately 5 seconds. For more information on pressure priming ink lines, refer to the
Arizona 30 Sign Printer User Guide.
Figure 2-3. Pressure priming the ink lines.
6. Leave the print head carriage over the blotting cloth for 5-10 minutes.
7. Remove and discard the blotting cloth and press CANCEL to return the carriage to the
maintenance station.

8. Press F1, then ENTER to perform a soft clean.
9. Print a prime test.
If necessary, and depending on the results of the prime test, perform a soft clean, pressure prime
or hard clean (refer to Arizona 30 Sign Printer User Guide for more details). Repeat Steps 9 and
10 until print quality is acceptable.
Nightly Shutdown
This procedure should also be performed if the printer will be powered off for more than 10
minutes.
1. Top up the ink tanks.
2. Press ENTER for 10 seconds to clear any liquid from the caps.
3. Power down the printer.
4. Manually move the print head carriage out of the maintenance station.
5. Clean the outside of each cap with a swab soaked in CGS 80 (Figure 2-4).
Figure 2-4. Cleaning the capping station.
6. Set the RUN/CLEAN switch (Figure 2-2) to CLEAN.
7. Fill a solvent syringe with about 30 cc of CGS 80 and connect the syringe to the solvent
injection port (Figure 2-2).
8. Holding the syringe upright so air doesn’t get into the tube, quickly inject solvent until the
maintenance station caps are brimming with solvent.

9. Manually move the print head carriage back over the capping station (push all the way to
park the carriage). Close the front cover and the maintenance station access door.
10. Check the level in the waste tank and replace the bottle if necessary.
Weekend or Extended Period Shutdown
1. Press F1 and then the right arrow key until the screen displays “Head Flushing”. Press
ENTER.
2. Fill a head flushing syringe with 30 cc of CGS 80.
3. Perform the following 4 procedures for each print head, one at a time.
4. Disconnect the tube that runs from the reservoir into the print head (Figure 2-5).
Figure 2-5. Detaching the reservoir intake tubes from ink supply nozzles.
5. Connect the syringe to the male connector on this tube.
6. Inject half of the solvent into the printhead.
7. Disconnect the syringe from the male connector and reconnect the tube to the reservoir as
quickly as possible. This will keep solvent in the print head while you flush the other print
heads.
8. After flushing all the heads, perform the regular nightly shutdown procedure as described
above.
NOTE The regular morning start up routine should be sufficient to clear the extra
solvent in the system that results from this process.
