5. Operating Instructions
The V902-Q Cleaning Solution is used for flushing and cleaning various components of the Videojet 1000 Series CIJ printer. Specific procedures may vary based on the printer model and the component being cleaned. Always refer to your specific Videojet printer's service manual for detailed cleaning instructions.
General Cleaning Procedures:
- Printhead Cleaning:
For routine printhead maintenance, carefully apply the cleaning solution to a lint-free cloth and gently wipe the exterior surfaces of the printhead to remove accumulated ink and dust. For internal cleaning or flushing, follow the specific procedures outlined in your printer's service manual, which may involve using the solution to flush ink lines or nozzles.
- Ink Line Flushing:
If ink lines are clogged or require flushing due to ink type change, the V902-Q solution can be used. This typically involves connecting the solution bottle to the printer's ink system via a service port and running a flushing cycle. Consult your printer's manual for the correct procedure to avoid damage.
- Component Cleaning:
Use the solution to clean other ink-contacting components that can be safely removed and cleaned externally. Always ensure components are completely dry before reassembly and printer operation.
Important: Never mix the V902-Q Cleaning Solution with other cleaning agents or inks unless explicitly stated by Videojet or CIJPARTS. Always ensure the printer is completely dry and free of cleaning solution before restarting operation.
6. Maintenance and Storage

7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during or after using the cleaning solution, consider the following:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |

| Residue after cleaning | Insufficient rinsing; solution not fully evaporated; old solution. | Ensure thorough rinsing with appropriate solvent (if required by printer manual) or allow sufficient time for evaporation. Use fresh solution. |
| Printer still shows clogging/poor print quality after cleaning | Severe clog; incorrect cleaning procedure; damaged component. | Repeat cleaning procedure. Consult your printer's service manual for advanced cleaning steps. If problem persists, contact technical support. |
| Solution not effectively cleaning | Incorrect application; expired solution; incompatible ink type. | Verify application method with printer manual. Check solution expiry date. Ensure V902-Q is compatible with your ink type (generally universal for CIJ cleaning). |
