Konica Minolta Magicolor 2400 Series Preventative Maintenance

Cleaning (Preventative Maintenance) on the magicolor 2400 Series
Read all caution and warning labels carefully, making sure to follow any instructions
contained in them. These labels are located on the inside of the printer's covers and
the interior of the printer body.
Handle the printer with care to preserve its life. Abuse may cause damage and void your
warranty. If dust and paper scraps remain on the inside or outside of the printer, printer
performance and print quality will suffer, so the printer should be cleaned periodically. Keep
the following guidelines in mind.
Turn off the printer, unplug the power cord, and disconnect all interface cables before
cleaning. Do not spill water or detergent into the printer; otherwise the printer will be
damaged and an electric shock may occur.
The fuser unit is hot. When the right side cover is opened, the fuser unit temperature
drops gradually (one hour wait time).
- Be careful when cleaning the inside of the printer or removing media misfeeds, as the
fuser unit and other internal parts may be very hot.
- Do not place anything on top of the printer.
- Use a soft cloth to clean the printer.
- Never spray cleaning solution directly on the printer's surface; the spray could
penetrate through the air vents of the printer and damage the internal circuits.
- Avoid using abrasive or corrosive solutions or solutions that contain solvents (such as
alcohol and benzene) to clean the printer.
- Always test any cleaning solution (such as mild detergent) on a small inconspicuous
area of your printer to check the solution's performance.
- Never use sharp or rough implements, such as wire or plastic cleaning pads.
- Always close the printer's covers gently. Never subject the printer to vibration.
- Do not cover the printer immediately after using it. Turn it off and wait until it cools
down.
- Do not leave the printer's covers open for any length of time, especially in well-lit
places; light may damage the toner cartridges.
- Do not open the printer during printing.
- Do not tap media stacks on the printer.
- Do not lubricate or disassemble the printer.
- Do not tilt the printer.
- Do not touch the electrical contacts, gears, or laser devices. Doing so may
damage the printer and cause the print quality to deteriorate.
- Keep media in the output tray at a minimum level. If the media is stocked too
high, your printer may experience media misfeeds and excessive media curl.
- Keep the printer level to avoid toner spillage.
- When lifting the printer, grasp the areas shown in the figure below.
- If you get toner on your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap.
If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a
doctor.
- Make sure any parts removed during cleaning are replaced before you plug in
the printer.
