To clean the interior of the printer perform the following steps.
1. Power off the printer and unplug the printer power cord.
2. Open the printer cover. Fully raise the forms thickness lever.
Unload paper.
3. Unlatch both ribbon spools and carefully lift them off the hubs.
Raise the ribbon out of the ribbon path.
4. Using a soft-bristled, non-metallic brush (such as a toothbrush),
brush paper dust and ribbon lint off the tractors, shuttle cover
assembly, base casting, and ribbon guides. Vacuum up the
residue.
Vacuum carefully around the hammer bank and surrounding
area to avoid damage. To avoid corrosion damage, use only
alcohol when cleaning the printer mechanical elements.
Solutions used to clean mechanical elements must contain no
water.
5. Wipe the splined shaft with a soft cloth.
6. Check the ribbon mask and hammer bank cover for bits of torn
paper or ribbon lint.
7. Using a soft cloth lightly moistened with anhydrous alcohol,
remove dust and ink from the platen. (The platen is the thick
silver bar behind the hammer bank cover that rotates when the
forms thickness lever is rotated.) Clean the ribbon guides.
When cleaning the platen, be very careful not to get any
alcohol in the hammer bank, because alcohol will cause
severe damage to the hammer bank. Only a trained service
technician should clean the shuttle assembly.
8. Brush and vacuum up dust or residue that has accumulated
inside the lower cabinet.
9. Wipe the lower cabinet interior with a clean, lint-free cloth
dampened (not wet) with water and mild detergent or window
cleaning solution. Dry the lower cabinet interior by wiping it
down with a clean, lint-free cloth.
10. Install the ribbon and load paper.
