END
This completes the daily maintenance procedure for the Prestige L2 DTF printer.

OVERVIEW
This procedure outlines the daily maintenance steps required to ensure optimal performance and long-term reliability of the Prestige L2 and XL2 DTF printers.

TOOLS REQUIRED
• Cleaning swabs  
• Lint-free cloth  
• Approved cleaning solution  

SECTION 1
Initial Preparation

00:00:01 Printer Positioning
1) Press and hold the Left Arrow button.
2) Allow the printer carriage to move fully to the left side of the printer bed.
3) This position provides easier access for cleaning.

SECTION 2
Capping Station and Wiper Blade Cleaning

00:00:33 Cleaning the Capping Stations
1) Pour cleaning solution into a separate container.
  Note: Do not place liquids directly on the printer bed.
2) Dip a cleaning swab into the solution until fully soaked.
3) Clean around the capping stations.
4) Ensure there is no ink buildup on the outer rubber seals.
5) Use a lint-free cloth to remove excess solution.
6) Proper cleaning ensures a tight seal and prevents printhead drying.

00:01:04 Cleaning the Wiper Blade
1) Using a cleaning swab with solution, clean the wiper blade thoroughly.
2) Remove all ink buildup.
3) Ink residue left on the wiper blade may smear onto the printhead and cause damage.

SECTION 3
Printhead Area Cleaning

00:01:18 Powering Off and Accessing Printheads
1) Power off the printer using the rear power switch.
2) Gently push the printer carriage fully to the left.

00:01:28 Cleaning Around the Printheads
1) Use new cleaning swabs dipped in cleaning solution.
2) Carefully clean around each printhead.
3) Do not touch the printhead face directly.
4) Removing surrounding ink prevents the wiper blade from transferring ink onto the printhead surface.
5) This also reduces premature wear on the wiper blade.

SECTION 4
Wet Capping Procedure

00:01:42 Wet Capping the Printheads
1) Pour cleaning solution into both capping stations.
2) Add enough solution to soak the cap sponges.
3) This keeps the printheads hydrated and helps flush residue from the sponges.
4) Proper wet capping helps prevent clogs.

SECTION 5
Final Steps and Power Options

00:02:11 Resetting the Printer
1) Clean up the area around the printer.
2) Close all lids securely.
3) Turn the printer back on.
4) Allow the carriage to return and dock onto the capping station.

00:02:24 Overnight Operation Options
Option A: Daily Printing
1) Leave the printer powered on overnight.
2) Turn off the heater and vacuum bed by pressing and holding the power button until the screen turns off.
3) The printer will automatically:
  - Perform cleaning every four hours
  - Circulate white ink overnight

Option B: Shutting Down
1) Confirm full contact between the printhead and capping station.
2) Power the printer off completely.

00:02:39 Printer Bed Cleaning
1) Use a lint-free cloth with isopropyl alcohol.
2) Clean the printer bed to remove film residue buildup.
