User Maintenance; Cleaning - Epson ActionLaser 1600 Service Manual

The ActionLaser 1600 is a page printer that uses an electrophotographic printing
method. Unlike with most impact or ink-jet printers, the key components in the
electrophotographic process are integrated into an expendable cartridge (the
imaging cartridge). Therefore, periodic replacement of the imaging cartridge is
essential to ensure high-quality output. Other maintenance items are also
described in this section, which is divided into two sections: user maintenance
(preventive maintenance) and service maintenance (repair).
