In some segments of the printer market, the customer tends to print more than the maximum number of prints that the throughput allows, exceeding by far the limit of the design. When this happens the customer runs into print quality problems and continuous printer failures.
The purpose of scheduled preventive maintenance is to avoid these failures – ensuring a good performance during all the product life.
Internal printer counters are assigned to counting the number of carriage cycles, carriage distance, service station cycles, and ink in the waste management module.
When certain components of the printer exceed preset amounts of any of these counters, the front panel displays the following messages:
Service Maintenance #1 is related to carriage cycles and distance.
SMK1 is the largest and most in depth service interval on the HP Latex Printer. The kit includes all service parts necessary to optimise the performance of your printer. The maintenance kit 1 cannot be installed by the user as it involves dismantling of the printer.
Book one of our experienced engineers to supply and fit your SMK1 to ensure that all service procedures are followed correctly and that your printer is fully calibrated. Installation of SMK1 normally takes approx 6 to 8 Hrs.
Service Maintenance #2 is related to service station cycles. (For Latex 3×0 only)
SMK2 includes all service parts necessary to optimise the performance of your printer. The maintenance kit 2 cannot be installed by the user as it involves dismantling of the printer.
