Important Maintenance Notes
To ensure the best performance of the printer, remember these maintenance
principles when you service it. Failure to observe these guidelines can result
in damage to the equipment:
•
Do not adjust the platen gap unless
1) the original shuttle assembly or platen has been replaced with a new or
rebuilt unit, or
2) you are instructed to do so in a troubleshooting procedure.
•
Never bend or try to adjust ("tweak") the hammer springs. The
hammer springs are precisely aligned and the hammer tips are delicate.
Always handle hammer springs by the thick mounting base.
•
Use only the ribbons specified in the User's Manual . Using ribbons
not made by Printronix can lead to degraded print quality, expensive
damage to the printer, and can void the owner's warranty.
•
Never close the forms thickness lever (platen lever) too tightly.
Closing the forms thickness lever too tightly can lead to smeared print,
degraded print quality, paper jams, and damage to the platen and shuttle
assembly.
