MAINTENANCE
Your printer requires very little care. Occasional
cleaning and replacement of the ribbon cartridge
are all that is required.
Lubrication of the printer is not usually necessary.
If the print head carriage does not move smoothly back and forth, clean
the printer as described in this chapter. If the problem continues,
contact your dealer to determine whether lubrication might be needed.
The front cover, the rear stacker, and the paper table of the printer
help protect against dust, dirt, and other contaminants. However,
paper produces small particles that accumulate inside the printer.
This section explains how to clean and vacuum the printer and how
to clean the platen.
It is easier to clean the printer when the front cover, the rear staeker is
removed.
Cleaning and Vacuuming the Printer
WARNING
To avoid any possibility of injury, before cleaning the printer, turn
off the power to both the printer and the computer, and unplug the
printer.
Use the following procedure to clean and vacuum the printer as
required:
1. Remove any paper from the printer. Make sure that the power
is off, and then disconnect the printer power cord.
2. Using a soft vacuum brush, vacuum the exterior of the printer.
Be sure to vacuum the air vents at the front, left sides, and
bottom of the printer. Also vacuum the paper table, rear
stacker, and the cut sheet feeder.
