Loading Consumables - Tektronix Phaser 600 Service Manual

Loading consumables

Cleaning
Paper/transparencies: Demonstrate how to load a roll of paper. Also
demonstrate how to load a sheet of manually fed media.
Emphasize to the customers not to touch the printing surface of the
transparency media; handle it by the edges only. Fingerprints affect
print quality.
Explain to customers that they should not bend the media (especially
transparency film) too sharply. Otherwise, print quality may be
affected and jams may occur inside the printer.
Demonstrate trimming the media using a razor knife and the cutting
guide.
Show where media loading information is explained in the user
manual.
Ink sticks: Demonstrate how to load an ink stick.
Emphasize to customers to use only Phaser 600 printer ink sticks. The
printer's warranty will be voided if non-Tektronix ink sticks are used.
Also emphasize that they should not use ink sticks that have large
pieces missing and not to load any small broken pieces.
Show where ink stick handling and loading instructions are explained
in the user manual and on the ink stick card shipped with each ink
stick box. Emphasize that ink sticks must be kept clean; contaminated
ink sticks will eventually clog filters inside the printhead, requiring it
to be replaced. Ink sticks should remain in their closed packaging
until loaded in the printer's ink loader.
Explain how keeping the printer clean can ensure the highest-quality prints.
Emphasize how dirt and dust can affect print quality and paper-pick reliability.
Stress the importance of using 90% or higher isopropyl alcohol, not
rubbing alcohol.
Explain the contents and use of the cleaning kit.
Show how to use the user manual to locate proper cleaning
procedures. Demonstrate the use of the front panel menu to initiate
cleaning routines.
Warn the use of sharp edges inside the printer; particularly the x-axis
belt and the timing fence.
Show the location of the paper feed rollers inside the printer.
