Continuous ink supply has always been a hot topic, cost and saving money. However, continuous ink supply has always been a hot spot, not only because of the topic of saving money and costs, but also its stability of failure rate, which also makes it high in the popular attention list. If you only talk about the crime and punishment of continuous supply, you may not be able to clearly understand the advantages and disadvantages of continuous ink supply, but from the perspective of use to analyze the cause of the failure, you can fully understand the continuous supply, and you can also know the future of beating Where should the application development go. Below, let's start with the use case of the continuous supply.
Case 1: Unrecognized Ink Cartridge
Users who use continuous ink supply may often encounter the situation that the machine does not print after a period of use, because the printer cannot recognize the black ink cartridge.
Causes and solutions: This situation occurs mainly because the printer's waste ink tank is full. In fact, every Inkjet Printer has a fixed set of accessories life. When some accessories reach the service life, the printer will prompt that it cannot print. As the continuous ink supply system is easy to form waste ink, it is easy to cause the waste ink tank to be full. In this case, you can do two things: either use a reset software to reset the printer motherboard to eliminate the printer settings; or you can go to the maintenance point to replace the sponge in the waste ink tank. The author recommends that users use the latter. Because it is simply cleared, it is easy to cause waste ink to burn the printer.
Case 2: The swing speed of the print head car becomes slow, resulting in low-speed printing
Reconstruction of the continuous ink supply system will often transform the original ink cartridges, and this transformation will inevitably cause the burden of the word car. Under heavy load, the word car will move slowly. And the overload will also cause the accelerated aging of the printer belt and increase the friction between the carriage and the connecting rod. These will cause the printing speed to slow down. In severe cases, the word car cannot be reset and then cannot be used.
Causes of failure and solutions:
1. Replace the motor. The hose of the continuous ink supply system rubs against the wall of the printer, resulting in an increased load on the electric motor. If the electric motor is used for a long time, it will be worn out and try to replace it;
2. Lubricate the connecting rod. After a long time of use, the friction between the carriage and the connecting rod in the machine becomes larger, and the increase in resistance causes the electric motor to run slowly. At this time, the lubrication of the connecting rod can solve the failure;
3. The printer belt is aging. The friction of the driven gear connected to the motor will accelerate the aging of the printer's belt. At this time, cleaning and lubrication can reduce the failure of the belt aging. [next]
Case 3: The printer nozzle is clogged
This is one of the most common failures after the printer is equipped with a continuous ink supply system. Because ink heavy impurities are likely to cause precipitation, the printer head will be clogged.
Causes and solutions to the problem: clogging of the nozzle is almost always caused by the precipitation of impurities, and partly because the acidity of the ink is too strong, which causes the corrosion of the nozzle. If it is because the printer has not been used for a long time or the non-original ink is added, the ink delivery system is obstructed or the print head is blocked, then it is best to clean the print head. If washing with water does not solve the problem, the nozzle can only be removed, soaked in pure water at about 50-60 ° C, cleaned with an ultrasonic cleaner, and dried after use. If repeated cleaning still has no obvious effect, it means that the nozzle orifice has been blocked. This damaging fault can only replace the nozzle.
In addition, it should be noted that the printer nozzle has a limited service life. For example, the life of the inkjet printer nozzle of Epson is about 20-30 ink cartridges. Therefore, it is not a continuous supply of ink that can always guarantee low cost.
In addition, the failure of the cleaning pump nozzle of the inkjet printer is also the main cause of the plugging. The cleaning nozzle of the printer plays a decisive role in the protection of the printer nozzle. After the carriage returns to position, the nozzle should be cleaned by the pump nozzle to perform weak suction treatment. When a new ink cartridge is installed in the printer or the nozzle is broken, the suction pump at the lower end of the machine should use it to pump the nozzle. The higher the working accuracy of the suction pump, the better. However, in actual operation, the performance and airtightness of the suction pump will be reduced due to the extension of time and the increase of the residual solidification of dust and ink in this nozzle. If the user does not regularly check or clean it, it will cause the printer's nozzle to continue to appear like a plug failure. Therefore, the suction pump must be maintained frequently. The specific method is to remove the upper cover of the printer and remove the cart, and use needles to inhale the pure water to rinse it, especially to clean the microporous gaskets embedded in the mouth. It should be noted that when cleaning this part, it must not be cleaned with ethanol or methanol, which will cause the microporous gasket embedded in this component to dissolve and deform. At the same time, the lubricating oil must not come into contact with the pump nozzle. The grease will deform the rubber sealing ring of the pump nozzle to prevent the nozzle from being sealed.
