Empty the Waste Ink Tray

Introduction

spitting, and from the AMS.
When to do
Empty the waste tray weekly. The capacity of the waste tray is approximately 1.5 liters.
Equipment needed
• Safety glasses with side shields
• Gloves (for example: Ansell Microflex 93-260)
• Foam Tipped Swab (3010118211) or Cloth-Poly Wipe 10cm x 10cm (lint-free)
• An empty semi-transparent 1.5 liter plastic container
• A plastic tub that can hold the 1.5 liter container and catch any ink spilled during draining
• A plastic funnel
CAUTION
Wear gloves when contact with ink or maintenance materials is possible. Gloves should always
overlap sleeves. Follow the ink related Safety Data Sheets (SDS) guidelines carefully in order to

protection against UV inks and flush up to one hour. Pollution with other chemicals can shorten

Sheets (SDS) guidelines carefully in order to ensure maximum safety.
