Cleaning and daily maintenance

Your cutting plotter, knives and pens will work better and last longer if you keep them clean
and perform a few simple daily maintenance tasks.
Note
Before performing cleaning and daily maintenance, please power OFF the unit

and remove the power cable.
8.1.1

Cleaning the grit rolls

The figure below shows you this part of the plotter that might require your attention.
The pressure rollers (1) press the vinyl firmly against the friction drive rolls (2). For this reason
it is possible that, after some time, the friction drive rolls (2) become clogged with
accumulated residue from cutting media. This can cause slippage of the material, resulting in
inaccurate cuts or incorrect vinyl transport. Therefore it is a good habit to clean the drive rolls
regularly. To do this you can use a brush and rotate the rolls manually to make sure that they
are thoroughly cleaned.
8.1.2

Cleaning the cutting plotter

Use a soft cloth to clean paper dust and particles off the platen, the grit cover the cutting mat
and the carriage cover.
Use a cotton swab to clean the media sensors and EPOS laser.
Be sure to recalibrate the EPOS sensor after cleaning it.
