9-2 Preventive Maintenance
HP DesignJet CP Series Printers
Moisture on the Printer
Users should use the Printer in an environment between 5% and 95%
relative humidity. To recover from moisture condensation, turn the Printer
Off, and, using the main roller as a reference, wait until the Printer is
completely dry before using it again.
Noisy Carriage Bushing
To prevent noisy movement of the carriage, remove aluminum or dust
particles from the bushing at the back of the carriage, and from the slider
path along which the bushing moves.
Belt Swelling
To prevent new belts from swelling incorrectly, keep them in their bags with
dissicant until you need to install them.
Cleaning the Printer
To maintain the Printer in good operating condition, keep it free of dust
accumulation, ink, and other contamination. Cleaning intervals are
determined by the Printer environment and by the types of Printer supplies
used.
Disconnect the Printer from the power source prior
to performing any cleaning. DO NOT allow liquid to
run on to electrical components or circuits, or
through openings in the enclosure, as this can
create a shock hazard leading to death or injury.
WARNING
General Cleaning
Proper general cleaning should include the following:
1 Blow away dust accumulation with compressed air if available.
2 Clean the outer surface of the Printer with a damp sponge or cloth. Use
a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
3 Wipe the Printer dry with a soft lint-free cloth.
