Maintenance - Star Micronics DP8340 Series User Manual

2-4. Maintenance

Essentially, your printer is a robust piece of equipment, but should be treated
with a modicum of care in order to avoid malfunctions. For example:
1. keep your printer in a "comfortable" environment. Roughly speaking, if you
feel comfortable, then the environment is suitable for your printer.
2. do not subject the printer to physical shocks or excessive vibration.
3. Avoid over-dusty environments. dust is the enemy of all precision
mechanical devices.
4. To clean the exterior of the printer, use a cloth barely dampened with either
water with a little detergent or a little alcohol, but do not allow any liquid to
fall inside the printer.
5. The interior of the printer may be cleaned with a small cleaner or a
compressed-air aerosol (sold for this purpose). When performing this
operation, be sure not to bend or damage any cable connections or electronic
components.
