Maintaining GT541 Head Cap Rubbers and Wiper

Keeping the Rubber Caps and Wiper on your machine clean is the most important part of maintaining your

GT541. The caps and wiper are constantly being used throughout initial power up and during every auto

clean and operation of the machine. Although the rubber caps and Wiper are designed for use in an

industrial environment, they need to be inspected after every Ink Cartridge/Wiper Cleaner change and

cleaning. After prolonged use, the wiper and caps may become damaged and or worn. Lack of cleaning

will cause excess ink to build up on the caps and wiper. With infrequent use, the buildup of ink on the caps

and wiper will become dry and gooey. When the machine is powered on, this dry gooey ink will be wiped

against the underside of the print heads, likely clogging the nozzles. Cleaning should be done every time a

cartridge is changed, or if the machine is to sit unused for more than 3 days. If the machine is going to sit

idle for more than one week, please contact Brother Technical Support (1-877-427-6843), for long-term

storage instructions. The following steps will explain proper cleaning of wiper and caps.

Step 1: Entering maintenance mode and cap wiper clean menu.

Cleaning the Print Head Cap and Wiper Blade

Always clean the Print Head Caps and Wiper Blade when replacing the Wiper Cleaner. A new Wiper

Cleaner is enclosed in the box of a new BLACK Ink Cartridge, and it needs to be replaced when the

BLACK Ink Cartridge is changed (or with the most frequently changed ink color cartridge).

(1) Turn on GT-541 if it is off.

(2) Press the OK Button to open the Menu Display.

(3) Press the Up/Down Button to select the “Maintenance”, and then press the OK Button.

(4) Press the Up/Down Button to select the “Cap/Wiper Clean”, and then press the OK Button. The

following message appears.

(5) Turn off GT-541.

(6) Open the Front Cover by unlocking the Cover Locks.

(7) Pull out the Wiper Cleaner Cassette.

<Note>

•Do not tilt the Wiper Cleaner Cassette; ink may get on your hands or clothing.

•Do not touch the Clearance Sensor (the bar above the Wiper Cleaner Cassette); it may cause a

malfunction.

Replacing the Wiper Cleaner

Wear gloves and remove the ink with a dry cloth, and then clean with a cloth damped with water.

Make sure that the bottom of the Wiper Cleaner is set within the two projections on the Wiper Cleaner

Cassette.

The following items are included. Or can be purchased separately PN: SA5774-001.

the Print Heads and Rubber caps.

one side of the Clean Applicator to clean one Print Head Cap.

<Note> Do not touch the Clearance Sensor (the bar above the Wiper Cleaner Cassette); it may cause a

malfunction.

error,) turn off GT-541 and check if the Wiper Cleaner and the Wiper Cleaner Cassette are correctly

installed.

Print and check the Nozzle Check Pattern.

You can identify which Print Head has the problem if any by checking the Nozzle Check Pattern.

(1) Install the Platen 14 x 16.

(2) Set the Platen height to the “A” position.
