Z3200 Service Station Clean

[William Chitham]

Judging by the puddle on the floor it is time to clean out the service station on my Z3200. I did this years ago on a 3100 and as far as I can remember just cleaned the mess out of the tank and reassembled it but is there anything else I should do while I have it in bits? I checked the service plot and I am 92% of the way to service kit 2 which includes the service station, do I need to reset this counter somehow - does the printer stop working at 100%?

Thanks, William.

Hi William,

Just did that a few weeks ago with my z3200 service station.
What I would do, apart from what you mentioned, is clean the gears inside and the rails where the cap slides on. Then use vaseline or something like that to grease them again.
You access the gears by taking off the little motor that sits in the middle of the service station.

Also make sure that you clean the fan that sits against the service station.
Make sure that you remember how all the lines go that feed the ink from the caps into the spittoon.

It’s a dirty job, but not difficult.

Thanks Poul, I'll do that. William.

the man says: better clean before your primer motor gets problems...
(ps the connection of the ink-lanes was different on my z3100 compared to the video)
