Cleaning and maintenance
There are no moving parts in the print head requiring regular maintenance.
However, for printing onto outer packaging (e.g. cartons, trays, sacks, etc.) it must be
expected that dust and fibre particles carried along are freed and adhere to the nozzle
plate of the print head. Over a period of time, this can lead to a worsening of the print
quality (see also  Chapter Fehler! Verweisquelle konnte nicht gefunden werden., page
Fehler! Textmarke nicht definiert.).
If the contamination is too stubborn and cannot be removed by the rinsing
procedure, return the unit to our factory for expert cleaning. Please note that this
constitutes a service which entails costs, even during the warranty period.
