Maintenance
To obtain optimum performance from the DEClaser 2100 printer, you must
perform the prescribed care and maintenance as outlined in this chapter.
This chapter describes how to properly maintain the printer and covers the
following topics:
• Cleaning the printer
• Cleaning the primary corona wire
• Cleaning the transfer corona wire
• Extending EP-S cartridge life
• Replacing the EP-S cartridge
• Replacing the ozone filter
7.1 Cleaning the Printer
Keeping the printer clean helps ensure optimum print quality because stray
paper dust and toner can adversely affect the voltage levels placed on the
corona wires, paper, and electrophotostatic drum. Although cleaning is part
of the procedure you follow when replacing the EP-S cartridge, you may find
it necessary to clean the printer between cartridge changes if print quality
begins to deteriorate.
CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the internal and external surfaces
of the printer, do not use cleaners or solvents. Use a clean cloth dampened
with water only.
