6 Printer Maintenance
This chapter details how to perform maintenance on your printer and how to prepare your printer for stor-
age if you will not be running it for extended periods. Most of these procedures are only performed when
you are prompted to in the ZPrint Maintenance dialog. Others should be performed at the recommended
frequency detailed in each procedure below.

6.1 The Maintenance Dialog
The Maintenance dialog (found on the ZPrint Service menu) keeps a record of when the Fast Axis bear-
ing,
the Slow Axis bearing, and the Piston Screw require lubrication. ZPrint will prompt you when lubrica-
tion of any of these components is required. Only lubricate these components when you are prompted to in
ZPrint.
While lubrication of these items is important, it is equally important not to over-grease the bearings and pis-
ton screw when lubricating. Only a very small amount of grease is required to keep these parts working
optimally. Over-lubricating creates a situation where lubricant builds up in places where it should not be,
and may cause the printer to report an error.
6.2 Fast Axis Bearing Lubrication
Frequency: When prompted in ZPrint, or when you receive Error 2303-1.
1. Before lubricating the Fast Axis, make sure the rails and carriage are clean. Follow the cleaning
instructions here: Section 3.3, 'Clean The Fast Axis Rails and Carriage'.
2. Locate the Fast Axis grease fitting. Pump in a few squirts of grease until grease comes out the Relief
Hole.
