User Guide

1Introduction

In order to keep the VPi-series running the day-to-day maintenance, is be covered by you, a trained

operator. Only in case of malfunction or in case of scheduled service-maintenance, the local service

organization is involved.

The actions below are considered to be normal maintenance actions which can be executed by every

trained operator. Additional information can be found in the user guide which is available on:

http://downloads.oce.com.

1. Replace the ink-containers

2. Replace the waste containers (ink and water)

3. Add water to the PIM-conditioning

4. Replace the flip rings from the High Capacity Stacker

5. Replace the tissue cassettes

6. Replace the tissue ribbons

7. Clean the Z-sensors

8. Clean the SZ-sensors

9. Clean the print belt

10. Clean the inner side of the print belt.

When applicable the items above are not described in detail, but a reference is made to the user

guide which contains this information.

In order to increase the uptime of the system, it is possible to give an additional training, which

enables you to conduct a number of maintenance actions which are normally executed by the

service engineer. In addition you can do some checks and execute ‘normal’ maintenance actions

preventive which might prevent future problems and/or increase the uptime.

This document describes the so called ‘advanced Key Operator Maintenance’. It can be used by you

as reference and logbook.

In order to perform the Level 1 Uptime Optimization actions, you need to have some additional

tools:

•A flashlight

•Torx screwdriver T20

•Screwdriver #2

•Vacuum cleaner

It is up to the local organization to arrange these. Also the normal maintenance tools and supplies

are needed:

•PML

•Alpha wipes TX1004

•Nitrile gloves

•Print belt cleaning cloth

In this document, a couple of times we ask you to ‘inform service’ in case you notice

something during a check. Note that you supposed to inform the service engineer via

the logbook at the rear of this document.

Only submit a service call in case the system is not working according expectation/specification.

In the procedures there are differences, depending on the ‘revision’ of the system.

Note that this is a: Rev 1 

Rev 2 

Rev 3 

Rev 4 System (to be completed by the service engineer)

In case you encounter problems during performing maintenance actions, please add

this in the ‘remark’ section at the rear of this guide. An engineer will have a look at it

as soon as he is on site.
