Maintenance
Warning: Do not use solvents, kerosene, or abrasive cleaning materials that may
damage the printer.
4. Open the front cover of the printer and remove the ribbon cartridge. Using a soft vacuum
brush, gently vacuum the platen, the print head carriage and shaft, and surrounding
areas. You can easily slide the print head to the left or right when the power is off. Be
careful not to press too hard on the flat ribbon cable 1 that extends from the print head
carriage.
5. Re-install the ribbon cartridge. Close the front cover.
6. Open the top cover. Vacuum the inside of the top cover, the bail rollers, the cut sheet
entry behind the platen, and surrounding areas.
7. Raise the cut sheet stand together with the back cover. Vacuum the forms tractors and
surrounding areas.
Cleaning the Platen and Paper Bail Rollers
Clean the platen and paper bail rollers about once a month or if stains or smudges appear
on the paper. Use alcohol or water.
