6.1 Overview

This section provides information to maintain the printer in its optimum condition.

6.1.1 Cleaning

This printer has no mechanical components which require regular cleaning except the
Printhead. Therefore, when returning the printer to the user, check the following parts
and perform appropriate cleaning if stain is noticeable.
Never use chemical solvents, such as thinner, benzine, and
acetone to clean the exterior parts of printer like the housing.
These chemicals may deform or deteriorate the components of
the printer.
Be careful not to damage any components when you clean inside
the printer.
Do not scratch the surface (coated part) of PF roller assembly.
Use soft brush to wipe off any dusts. Use a soft cloth moistened
with alcohol to remove the ink stain.
Exterior parts
Use a clean soft cloth moistened with water and wipe off any dirt. If the exterior
parts are stained with ink, use a cloth moistened with neutral detergent to wipe it
off.
Inside the printer
Use a vacuum cleaner to remove any paper dust.
ASF LD Roller
When cleaning ASF internal rollers with an adhesive surface cleaning sheet, after
setting the cleaning sheet, press the Paper Feed switch while pressing on the paper
with one hand. Because this printer is a 2 roller type (LD Roller and Retard
Roller), perform cleaning a second time with the adhesive surface of the cleaning
sheet facing rearward.
