Caring for Your Printer
Overview
To ensure the best print quality and the most reliable printer operation,
follow these two simple guidelines:
■ Use only Tektronix transparencies and transfer rolls. When
printing with a 3-color or black transfer roll, use only Tektronix
thermal-transfer paper. When printing with a ColorCoat transfer
roll on common laser paper, use paper that conforms to the
guidelines given in “Recommended paper types” on page 5-4.
■ Perform the regular cleaning described in this chapter.
Importance of cleaning
By performing regular cleaning, you can ensure that your printer produces
the highest quality prints. Regular cleaning also helps prevent paper jams,
smudged prints, skewed images, and misregistration. If you clean the
printer at intervals listed under the next topic, “When to clean,” you will
experience fewer paper problems, improved print quality, and less
downtime.
Cleaning the printer is easy. Follow the cleaning procedures given in the
next few pages, or use the
Cleaning Instructions that come with each
cleaning kit.
