Lubrication Procedure

62 • Maintenance
General
The 545™ series printers are factory equipped with pre-lubricated bronze bearings
that do not require lubrication. The one exception is the rub cams on either end of
the rotary knife. Periodic cleaning of the printer and removal of dust will greatly
enhance the length of the time the printer will function.
Cam - Lubrication Procedure
1) Clean any dust and residue from cams (using alcohol or other suitable solvent) as
needed, or approximately every 100,000 cuts. Use any good quality general-
purpose oil to keep the oilers from drying out. Excess oil may migrate onto the
blades and cause jamming.
2) If lubrication is omitted, the knife will squeak and draw attention to required
lubrication.
No other printer lubrication should be required in normal use.
