Ax-Series - How to Use Wake-up Mode
Description
Wake-up mode ensures the ink remains at a good viscosity during long periods of idle time. When enabled, the wake-up routine will run the printer’s main pump for 2-3 minutes every 20 minutes to agitate the ink. The wake-up mode time interval can also be customised.
 NOTE
|
- This feature is not available for Ax130i.
- Wake-up mode is normally required for heavy duty ink types.
- Wake-up mode requires the printer to be powered on and in the Standby / Idle / Ink jet off state to run.
- Wake-up mode will not run if the printer is in “Sleep” mode or if the printer is “Shut down”.
