*Ink Supply: when the ink is on the bottom, floater sensor is on
the bottom of the sub ink tank, it gives the signal of connection,
the ink supply board and the main ink tank is connected by the 24V,
and the pump works, the ink is going to the ink tank; when is on
the upper limit level, the floater sensor gives the break signal,
ink supply is stopped. During printing, the ink in sub ink tank
will falls gradually, after the ink supply, the ink level increases
again. It means the ink will be kept in a suitable scope to keep
the printing works well.
*Lack-ink Alarm: when the ink in the main ink tank is going
finishing, the pump will keep working because the connection signal
keeps. When the pump works out of the time limit (the time to fill
two sub ink tanks time under the normal ink supply condition), the
ink supply board will alarm and the indicator will blink to remind
the operator to fill the ink.

7.3.2. The tactic of maintenance
AMaintenance during printer operation
This maintenance is carried out during printer running. It is an
automatic function which is executed at specified time during
printing, it support a reliable and continuous printing for the
printing orders.
B Maintenance for short term
Maintenance for short term should be need when the machine is in
work-off for a while. For example, it should be required at the
very beginning of printing or after finishing the work. Suggestion
is that the maintenance should be an autoimmunization system in
order to operate repeatedly and unfailingly.
CMaintenance for long term
Maintenance for long term should be needed when work is finished
all day or the whole system be closed absolutely. All in all, the
long-term maintenance is carried out with the state of
work-off.
7.3.3. Print Head Maintenance
You can adopt one or mixed the follow daily maintenance
ways:
APress and washing
Press and washing ways include two important functions:
To clean the air and contamination in the spout.
To clean the contamination in the nozzle.
Such of way could increase the heat of ink supply ,pressing the
ink until gush out the hole ink of nozzle.
If the temperature of the print head is different from the
environment around, pressing and cleaning can lead the temperature
become low, then affect the function of the print head. so before
restart, you should do a warm up. one of these ways to avoid this
warm up is heating the ink before it come into the print head, then
the temperature Is suit for the print head.
BVacuum clea
