Cleaning and
Maintenance
A Phaser 360 printer requires periodic cleaning to keep it in peak operating
condition. Some cleaning procedures, such as purging the ink-jets or feeding
clean paper through the paper path, are done automatically when necessary.
Other procedures, such as scrubbing the paper-feed rollers with an
alcohol-soaked cloth or foam swab, must be done by customers.
The printer should be cleaned when any of the following symptoms occur:
Light stripes or missing colors appear in prints.
Ink smears or random streaks appear on the front or back of prints.
Oily spots appear along the top of prints.
Mispicks or multiple picks occur at the media tray.
Persistent paper jams inside the printer or at the media tray.
Most print-quality and media-transport problems can be cured by initiating
cleaning procedures available through the printer's front panel menu. Refer to
Chapter 9 "Checks and Adjustments," in this manual to review the cleaning
menu structure.
Note Paper jams can also occur when the maintenance tray is not properly
latched in the printer. Simultaneously push in on both sides of the
maintenance tray to ensure that it is properly seated.
