5.2.1. Daily Maintenance Tasks
Aerosol and debris removal
Ink may transfer from printer components into media path. Remove excess ink and debris
daily to ensure optimal printing.
NOTE: If the operator finds paper debris on a starwheel, check to see whether or not
it is aligned with the edge of the media. If so, you may need to adjust the paper guide
and margin so that the starwheel no longer rubs the edge of the paper.
1. Perform this procedure with the printer powered on, so the platen is raised.
2. Pinch the clamshell latches to release, as shown on the pictures. Open the clamshell
and allow the upper portion to rest on the hard stops.
3. Dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water.
4. Wipe the system components and paper path surfaces (uppen and lower), with a
clean, damp lint-free cloth, to remove ink overspray (aerosol) and debris.
