6.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Proper maintenance is essential to assuring optimal and long-term printer performance and to minimize
malfunction frequency.
The case exterior should be regularly cleaned with alcohol. Vacuum cleaning should be occasionally
applied to the mechanism's interior to remove accumulated dust and paper particles.
After the unit has been cleaned, check that it is adequately lubricated (refer to section 6.2, immediately
below). 8efore returning the printer to the customer, inspect the springs, paper-feed rollers, and the
basic operation of the unit.
WARNING
8e sure to disconnect the printer from the power supply before maintenance. Do not apply
thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone-based solvents to any of the printer's plastic components.
6.2 LUBRICATION AND ADHESIVE APPLICATION
EPSON recommends lubrication at the points illustrated in Figure 6-2 through 6-5. Table 6-2 provides
a list of these points, and the recommended lubricant to be used for each. The lubricants--EPSON 0-2,
and EPSON G-14---have all been thoroughly tested and fUlly meet the needs of this printer. (Table 6-1
lists details of these lubricants.)
8efore applying any lubricant, make sure that the part to be lubricated is clean. Do not apply excess
lubrication, as this could potentially cause damage.
Following its disassembly or replacement, adhesive must be applied to the part indicated in Table 6-3.
EPSON recommends application of Neji lock #2 (G) adhesive to the point illustrated in Figure 6-1. When
applying the adhesive, be careful that no excess overflows onto nearby parts.
