> MONTHLY MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
Monthly Maintenance has to be performed on top of the Daily & Weekly Maintenance.
The purpose is to keep the printer in the best status for printing without problems.
Remember that it is better to spent 15 minutes every month than to be with machine
down for several days !
We recommend you to do the cleaning and greasing of the CR shaft, cleaning CR rail
and a good visual inspection of the printer.
Add also a little bit of Molykote 30 grease at the bronze sprocket of the CR Motor.
