SECTION 4

MAINTENANCE

Print Engine

Areas in the Print Engine can become glazed with a buildup of dust, paper lint and accumulated ink and

have to be cleaned regularly. Open the Top Cover. Open the Clamshell Assembly by releasing the two

latches. Use a vacuum to pick up any loose debris.

NOTE: Be careful around Ink Tray and Capping Station in the Print Engine area as accumulated ink may

splash onto other parts of the Printer. Take care not to damage the PC Boards or electrical wiring.

CAUTION

USE ONLY DEIONIZED/DISTILLED WATER TO CLEAN PRINT ENGINE

COMPONENTS. AVOID CONTAMINATING THE PRINTHEAD WITH CLEANERS,

LUBRICANTS OR OTHER CHEMICALS.

[A] Grit Rollers: Clean as needed by

moistening a small hard-bristled brush

or toothbrush with distilled water. DO

NOT use anything other than distilled

water to clean the Rollers.

[B] Media Sensors: Paper lint and

dust may build up on the Media

Sensors. Use a can of compressed air

or a damp (not wet) foam or lint-free

cotton swab to gently swab the

Sensors. Take care not to drip water

into the Circuit Boards. Use a clean,

dry swab to dab surfaces dry.

Remember to wipe the clear panel over the Sensor Receiver in the

upper Printhead Assembly (see inset).

[C] Capping Station Seal and Squeegee. Clean as needed with

distilled water on a damp, lint-free cloth. Be careful not to splash or

drip ink on other parts of the Printer.

[D] Printing Platen. Wipe with distilled water on a damp, lint-free cloth. Pat dry with a lint-free cloth.

Cleaning the Ink Revolver Couplings

1. First Deprime the system and remove the

Printhead Cartridge.

2. Moisten a foam swab in distilled water.

3. Insert the swab into one of the ink channels

and rotate the swab to clean the chamber.

4. Use a new swab for each of the remaining

ink channels until all 10 openings are clean.
