Cleaning For Ink Smears: Paper-Exit Path - Tektronix PHASER 840 Advanced Features And Troubleshooting Manual

Cleaning for ink smears: paper-exit path

If you have already performed the other "Cleaning for ink smears" procedures
described earlier in this chapter but problems persist, you should manually clean the
paper-exit path. Refer also to "Cleaning for ink smears and jams: paper-feed rollers"
on page 64.
Occasionally, stray ink particles and oil become attached to the exit fingers, rollers,
and guides under the exit cover causing ink streaks or marks on the top edge, front,
or back of prints. When this occurs, you must clean these parts using both dry swabs
and alcohol-soaked wipes.
Sample ink smear: paper-exit path
1.
Open the exit cover.
2.
Clean excess ink particles and oil from the blue exit fingers by gently
wiping the top surface of each finger using a dry swab.

To avoid damaging the print drum and exit fingers, never scrape excess ink with a
tool or fingernail; use a dry swab provided with the cleaning kit.
