4 Preventive Maintenance 41 Moisture on Plotter Users should use the plotter in an environment between 5% and 95% relative humidity. To recover from moisture condensation, turn the plotter off, and, using the main roller as a reference, wait until the plotter is completely dry before using it again. (Other environmental specifications ' chapter 2.) Level of Plotter Usage To achieve good performance and long lifetime of the HP DesignJet 230/250C and HP DesignJet 330/350C plotters, users should limit use to the following recommendations (duty cycle): Average number of plots per day 10 E/A0 CAD plots Maximum number of plots per day 20 E/A0 CAD plots The service configuration plot gives an indication of how much the plotter has been used: number of plots, number of cartridges, number of times the plotter has been turned on. (Details ' page 8 49/8 50.) Friction on Slider Rod The carriage bushings are made of a porous composite material. Oil stays inside them by means of capillary action. Never place the bushings on an absorbant material. To prevent friction of the bushings on the slider rod, remove dirt from the slider rod and chassis beam. Apply oil (Anderol 4068, HP part number: 6040 0858) to the slider rod ( 3 drops) and to the bushings if they are running dry. Noisy Carriage Wheel To prevent noisy movement of the carriage, remove aluminum or dust particles from the wheel at the back of the carriage, and from the slider path along which the wheel moves. 42 Preventive Maintenance C4699 90000 Ink Spilling The service configuration plot gives an estimation of the amount of ink in the plotter's spittoon. (Details ' page 8 49 or 8 50.) To prevent ink spilling, replace both the spittoon and the ink separator when the spittoon is almost full. About 880 primes are needed to fill up the ink separator. Note that if you clear the EEROM or replace the electronics module, the factory spittoon value is reset to 0% used. Keep in mind that the value printed on the service configuration plot may greatly underestimate the amount of ink in the spittoon. Future PC based plotter diagnostics will enable you to download information from the old EEROM and upload it to the new EEROM. Belt Swelling To prevent new belts from swelling incorrectly, keep them in their bags with dissicant until you need to install them. Cleaning the Roll feed Assembly Always clean the rubber diverter of the roll feed assembly with a dry cloth. Never clean it with water or alcohol based substances. C4699 90000 Preventive Maintenance 4 3 Cleaning the Plotter To maintain the plotter in good operating condition, keep it free of dust accumulation, ink, and other contamination. Cleaning intervals are determined by the plotter environment and by the types of plotter supplies used. WARNING Disconnect the plotter from the power source prior to performing any cleaning. DO NOT allow liquid to run on to electrical components or circuits, or through openings in the enclosure, as this can cre

5 Functional Overview 51 Introduction The HP DesignJet 330 and 350C follow on from and replace the DesignJet 230 and 250C. The HP DesignJet 230 and 250C originally replaced the DesignJet 220 but are now no longer produced. The HP DesignJet 330 and 350C (like the DesignJet 230 and 250C) have inherited much of the system architecture and features of the DesignJet 220. Their writing system, however, is based on that of the DesignJet 650C. This chapter describes only the main features new to the DesignJet 230 and 250C and DesignJet 330 and 350C. Before reading it, read the functional overview of the DesignJet 220 ' HP DesignJet 220 and HP DesignJet 200 Plotters - Service Manual," part number C3187 90000. (Information on the DesignJet 650C ' HP C2858B/C2859B DesignJet 650C Service Manual," part number C2858 90000 Rev B). Loading Sheet Media The actions performed by the plotters in loading sheet media are similar to those of the DesignJet 220. (There are some differences due to the different position of the media sensor.) The following diagram shows the sheet media loading sequence. The vertical arrows represent movement of the media. The thick horizontal bars represent movement of the carriage to sense the media edges. 0 1 2 3 4 7 5 15 6 8 9 11 10 12 13 14 52 Functional Overview C4699 90000 During sheet media loading, the plotter: 0 Detects the front edge of the media. (Media sensor located before pinch arm stops.) 1 Grips and advances the media. 2 Moves the media forwards and backwards to check whether it is still present and correctly gripped. 3 Advances the media and rechecks media presence. (The loading process fails if the media sensor detects no media.) 4 Actuates the bail so that the media can advance under it. 5 Moves the media to a given absolute position. 6 Again moves the media forwards and backwards to check for its presence. (The loading process fails if the media sensor detects no media.) 7 Moves the carriage to sense the right and left edges and to check dimensions. 8 Advances the media six inches. 9 Checks the right edge of the media for skew (misalignment). (The loading process fails if the skew is greater than the allowed limits.) 330 350C 10 If the media is slightly misaligned, the plotter gives you the opportunity to realign it. After realigning, the right edge of the media is checked again for skew (misalignment). (The loading process fails if the skew is greater than the allowed limits or if the aligned media is too far away from the load line.) 11 Advances the media until the media sensor detects the end of the media. 12 Checks the position of the right edge of the media. 13 Extrapolates the skew to the upper and lower edges of the media. 14 Calculates the media dimensions: print margin, length and width. 15 Moves the sheet to the printing position and resets the media axis servo position.
