To Clean Or Replace The Air Filter - Linx 4900 Operating Manual

7.3.2 To Clean or Replace the Air Filter

When replacing the air filter, check that the replacement filter is of the
correct type (part number FA13178) and remove all the filter packaging
before fitting.
To clean or replace the air filter, do the following:
1. Power down and switch off the printer (see 'To Power Down and
Switch Off' on page 33).
2. Withdraw the filter element using the nylon tab (you may need to
apply gentle pressure to release the filter from the housing). Refer to
the illustration below:
3. Clean the filter by gently knocking obstructions away, or use an air
line to blow air through the filter in the reverse direction to the normal
air flow.
4. Check that the filter is clean and there is no debris visible in the filter
housing. If the filter cannot be cleaned, replace it with a new filter.
5. Fit the clean or new filter into the filter housing and ensure that it is
fitted correctly.

Figure 7-13 Removing the Filter Element
The filter's soft surface must face up (to the top of the printer), the
wire mesh surface must face down (to the base of the printer), and
the tab facing outmost (away from the printer).
The air filter should be cleaned at least once a week; in dusty
conditions, however, this may have to be done on a daily basis.
