Need Help Why does my LEF 12i preform cleaning before every print?

[cwaldner]

Hi, Can anyone tell me why my LEF 12i preforms a cleaning before every job? The only information I can find in the manual is if periodical cleaning is set to "page" I have mine set to about an hour and have changed it around. I am on newest firmware.

Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

UV printers clean a lot.
However, check the Periodic Clean setting
Menu, sub menu, periodic clean
If set to Page it will clean before every print, not necessarily a bad thing.
Refer to on or about page 41 of the Master Guide

Hi, thank you for the reply. As stated in the original post, the periodic clean setting is set to about an hour. I even tried to set it to max amount of hours and it still cleans with every job. It cleans with every job even if they are minutes apart.
I would like to solve this.

Set it to NONE And see what happens.
Again, UV’s clean more often.
Is the printer inked with Primer?

Hi, I understand that UV printers clean more often. But mine cleans before every job even if i have it set to 999 minutes.
If I set periodical cleaning to NONE then it does't clean before every job. but that sounds like a recipe for disaster.

What else could I check?

Oh, so it is working properly. If you don’t want it to clean before every job, set it to NONE, which is the default if you look in the Master User Guide.
It will still do it’s proper automatic cleaning.
there is one service level adjustment to this. However, you would have to get a technician to make the adjustment. It is set properly from the factory, it could have been changed by someone.
it sounds like the printer is working properly.
