The printer uses the maintenance tray, located inside the printer behind the front cover, prior to each printing and during cleaning operations. You should empty the maintenance tray anytime you remove the maintenance tray from the printer or when the printer displays a Waste Tray Full message.
You must replace the maintenance tray (Tektronix order Number 436-0294-03) after approximately 10,000 prints. A front panel message tells you when the maintenance tray is low, allowing you to make a minimal number of prints before the tray is depleted. When it is empty, a Maintenance Tray Empty message is displayed. Install a new maintenance tray to continue printing. To avoid printing delays, always keep an extra maintenance tray available for use in the printer.
- Note
- There is a 15-minute warm-up period required after replacing the maintenance tray.
