6.1.1 Preventive Maintenance
The case exterior should be regularly cleaned with alcohol. Occasionally vacuum clean the interior

After the unit has been cleaned, check that it is adequately lubricated (refer to Section 6.2, below).
Before returning the printer to the customer, inspect the springs, paper-feed rollers, and the basic
operation of the unit.
6.1.2 Lubrication and Adhesive Application
EPSON recommends lubrication at the points illustrated in Figure 6-2. Table 6-2 provides a list of
these points, and the recommended lubricant to be used for each. The lubricants--EPSON O-2,
EPSON G-26, and EPSON G-37--have all been thoroughly tested and fully meet the needs of this
printer. (Table 6-1 lists details of these lubricants.)
Before applying any lubricant, make sure that the part to be lubricated is clean. Do not apply excess
lubrication, as this can potentially cause darnage.
Following its disassembly or replacement, adhesive must be applied to the part indicated in Table
6-3. EPSON recommends application of Neji lock #2 (G) adhesive to the point illustrated in Figure
6-1. When applying the adhesive, be careful that no excess overflows onto nearby parts.
