HP Scitex FB910 Printer Series - Installation Instructions for Ink Filters

Power off the printer, following the cautions in the section “Managing Power Off Scenarios.”

Open the service door on the user-end cabinet.

Place the drop cloth under the work area beneath the ink filters.

Wear protective gloves, such as latex, to protect your hands from being stained with ink.

Wear protective eye wear to protect your eyes from splashing ink.

Place paper towels within reach of work area

note:

When the filter is removed, it will be full of ink. Have sufficient paper towels available for this much ink.

Turn off the lamps at the printer’s control panel screen, and wait for the lamps to finish their cool down sequence.

  caution:

Failure to allow the lamps to cool down properly will damage the lamps. If you disconnect the power cable from the back of the printer or disconnect the power cable from the lamp assembly before the cool down sequence has finished, you will damage the lamps. Do not disconnect the power cable until the printer’s control panel screen no longer reads “Cooling”.

Figure : Press “Tools” to access lamp power off

When the printer’s control panel screen no longer reads “Cooling” (it will change to “Off”), turn off the power to the printer.

Make sure that the auxiliary power supply for the vacuum/pressure assembly is providing power to the vacuum/pressure assembly.

If the auxiliary power supply is not available, restore power to the printer as soon as it is safe. Failure to follow these instructions will result in ink seeping from the printheads during the repair due to lack of vacuum.

If auxiliary power to the vacuum/pressure assembly is not available, and you must power down the printer for an extended time, you must plan for ink that will eventually seep from the printheads. Only ink that is currently in the printheads will leak. Placing the carriage assembly over the wipe station should be adequate to handle the seepage.

  caution:

Allow the printer to complete its shutdown procedure before disconnecting the power cord.

If you need to power down the printer to access areas of the printer where high voltage exists, keep in mind that turning off the power switch does not completely remove power from the printer. To be safe, unplug the main power cable to the printer before proceeding with service. Once the main power cable had been unplugged, allow 5 minutes to pass to allow any current to drain from the capacitors.

Remove the screw (A) that secures the filter to the enclosure.
A = Screws that secures filter to enclosure
B = Luer fitting
C = Luer fitting

Twist open the Luer fittings above (B).

To keep ink from leaking from the filter, place your finger or thumb over the hole at the top of the filter (the hole created by removing fitting [B]).

Unscrew the fitting (C) below the ink filter. Use a paper towel to capture the ink that leaks when the filter is removed.

Wrap the used filter in paper towels to capture any ink that leaks from the filters.

Connect the filter to the ink pump using the original Luer fittings (C) and (B) shown in Fig. 1.

Secure the filter to the cabinet using the original screw (A).

Power on the printer.

From the printer’s menu, select TOOLS > MAINTENANCE > RESET RESERVOIR FILTERS.

If you are replacing a single filter, follow the menu options to select the color. Otherwise, choose SELECT ALL.
