4. Maintenance of Circulation System
4.1 General Structure of Circulation System
4.1.1 The general structure of the circulation system is shown in the following
figure.
Using an open/close type door (unit door) as a partition, the
system is roughly divided into an ink circulating area (the front side of the
equipment) and a driving part area (the rear side of the equipment).
Driving part area
Ink circulating area
Unit door
Ink reservoir
Caution:
Since the circulation unit is made of plastic, tightening the screws with excessive
torque will break the unit. See the table below for reference torques:
