If print quality or paper motion deteriorates seriously, contact your Field Service Representa

General Cleaning
The printer requires periodic cleaning to ensure efficient operation and clear print quality.
General cleaning should occur approximately every three months or after 250 hours of opera
tion. If the printer is located in a particularly dusty area or is used for heavy duty printing, a
shorter interval for cleaning is required.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the exterior cabinet with a soft cloth and mild detergent. (Dishwashing liquid works
well.) Do not use abrasive powders or strong cleaning agents. The clear window may be cleaned
with plain water or mild window cleaner. Always apply the cleaning solution to the cloth; never
pour the cleaner directly onto the printer.
Interior Cleaning
Paper chaff and ink accumulation in the interior of the printer is normal during printer opera
tion. However, excessive paper chaff and ink accumulation can degrade printer performance
and print quality. Most paper chaff will accumulate around the ends of the platen and ribbon
path. To clean the interior of the printer, perform the following steps and refer to Figure 8-1.
