Cleaning And Maintenance - Primera FX1000 Operator's Manual

4.3: Cleaning and Maintenance

Basic periodic cleaning and maintenance is required to keep the FX1000 running smoothly.
Clean Rubber Nip Point Roller
The nip point roller is located on the left side of the unit. Adhesive from the edges of media can
build up on this roller. Over time this will decrease the effective pinch pressure of the nip points
which can cause the web to slip.
Clean the rollers with isopropyl alcohol. To access the rubber rollers open the nip points and
remove paper from the system. Clean each area and then rotate the roller as you clean it.
The upper metal roller can be cleaned by using a small amount of alcohol on a folded paper
towel. Feed the paper towel through the nip point with the alcohol facing up. Grab both ends of
the paper towel and pull it tight. Move the paper towel up and down the direction of the web
while at the same time slowly moving it from front to back. Rotate the metal roller and repeat the
procedure.
Clean the inside of the Guide Collars
Over time adhesive can build up here. Clean the collars with isopropyl alcohol.
Label Cut Dust
Label cut dust can accumulate at any place along the cut path. Paper media creates more dust
than synthetic material. Dust build up does not cause any specific immediate problems but it
can eventually cause problems with the moving parts.
Periodically vacuum the entire paper path and rollers if you notice dust build up.
