6.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
To keep the printer in good condition, regularly clean the case exterior (using denatured alcohol) and vacuum
the mechanism's interior to remove dust and paper debris. After cleaning the printer, check that it is
adequately lubricated, as described in Section 6.2, below. Before returning the printer to the customer,
inspect the springs and paper feed rollers and check that the printer operates properly.
;
Disconnect the printer from the external AC power source before performing maintenance. Do not
use thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone-based solvents on the plastic components of the printer.
Note: It is necessary to clean the carriage encoder belt periodically. When this printer is returned
for service, clean the surface of carriage encoder belt.
6.2 LUBRICATION AND ADHESIVE APPLICATION
EPSON recommends that the printer be lubricated at the points illustrated in Figures 6-2, 6-3, and 6-4 using
EPSON lubricants O2 and G26. These lubricants have been extensively tested and found to comply with
needs of the printer. Refer to Table 6-1 for information on lubricants O2 and G26. Table 6-2 lists the
appropriate lubricant for each point. Make sure the parts to be lubricated are clean before applying lubricant.
Also avoid applying too much lubricant because it may damage related parts.
Adhesive application is necessary at the points indicated in Table 6-3 when parts are disassembled or
replaced. EPSON recommends Neji Lock #2 (G) adhesive be applied to the points indicated in Figures 6-2,
6-3, and 6-4. Avoid allowing excess adhesive to overflow onto related parts.
