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.
(9) Push both sides of the Wiper Cleaner Cassette to open it.
(10) Carefully drop off the used Wiper Cleaner in a trash can/bag by turning it upside down.
<Note>
Dispose the used Wiper Cleaner in compliance with your local regulations.

(12) Close the Wiper Cleaner Cassette.
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.

Use only the Wash Liquid included to wet the Clean Applicators; using other liquid will cause damage to
the Print Heads and Rubber caps.
(15) Use the one side of wet Clean Applicator to clean the front side of the Wiper Blade.
When cleaning back side of Wiper do not
apply excess pressure but slightly swabbing
and wiping gently. Excess pressure can
remove rubber from holder.
(16) Use the other side of the wet Clean Applicator to clean the backside of the Wiper Blade.
When cleaning back side of Wiper do not
apply excess pressure but slightly swabbing

remove rubber from holder.

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

Caps.

<Note> Do not touch the Clearance Sensor (the bar above the Wiper Cleaner Cassette); it may cause a
malfunction.
(19) Close the Front Cover, and then turn on GT-541. If GT-541 turns on without any problem,
replacement of the Wiper Cleaner Cassette has been completed. If there is problem (abnormal noise or
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.
