Lubrication
Lubrication is particularly important in keeping the printer operating properly as long as
possible. Therefore, lubricate at prescribed intervals, using the correct lubricants.
Lubricant
The performance and durability of the printer are greatly affected by the lubricant applied.
Therefore, pay careful attention to lubricant specifications, especially for the low temperature
characteristics. The lubricants for the printer are chosen based on technical information analysis
and tests on various lubricants by EPSON. The lubricants are available in 40 cc (gr.) plastic
containers (the minimum supply unit). Both G-36 and G-15 are used on this printer.
Lubrication Standards
Lubricate the printer in the following situations:
Lubricant is wiped off during cleaning.
Lubricant is wiped off when disassembly or assembly is performed.
When lubricating parts during assembly of the printer, clean parts before lubricating them.
Refer to the next section and "Lubrication Diagram" at the end of this manual for the lubricants
and the lubrication points.
