Cleaning For Ink Smears: Paper-Exit Path - Tektronix Phaser 850 User Manual

Cleaning for ink smears: paper-exit path

If you have already performed the other "Cleaning for ink smears" procedures described
earlier in this chapter but problems persist, you should clean the paper-exit path. Refer
also to Cleaning for ink smears: paper-feed rollers on page 129.
Occasionally, stray ink particles and oil become attached to the Rapid Release Guide,
rollers, and guides under the exit cover causing ink streaks or marks on the top edge, front,
or back of prints. When this occurs, you must clean these parts using alcohol-soaked
wipes.
