CHAPTER 6 MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
Your printer requires very little care. Occasional
cleaning and replacement of the ribbon cartridge
are all that is required.
Lubrication of the printer is usually not necessary.
If the print head carriage does not move smoothly back and forth, clean
the printer as described in this chapter. If the problem continues, contact
your dealer to determine whether lubrication might be needed.
The front cover, the rear stacker, and the paper table of the printer help
protect against dust, dirt, and other contaminants. However, paper
produces small particles that accumulate inside the printer.
This section explains how to clean and vacuum the printer and how to
clean the platen.
It is easier to clean the printer when the front cover and the rear stacker
are removed.

Cleaning and Vacuuming the Printer

WARNING
To avoid any possibility of injury, before cleaning the
printer, turn off the power to both the printer and the
computer, and unplug the printer.
Use the following procedure to clean and vacuum the printer as required:
1. Remove any paper from the printer. Make sure that the power is
off, and then disconnect the printer power cord.
2. Using a soft vacuum brush, vacuum the exterior of the printer.
Be sure to vacuum the air vents at the front, left sides, and
bottom of the printer. Also vacuum the paper table, rear stacker,
and the cut sheet feeder.
3. Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe the exterior of the printer,
including the cover, paper table, and rear stacker. A mild
detergent may be used.
CAUTION
Do not use solvents, kerosene, or abrasive cleaning materials
that may damage the printer.
