EPSON FX-2180 Service ManualChapter 6 Maintenance

6.1 Preventive Maintenance 6.2 Lubrication

To keep the printer operating properly, regularly clean the exterior case using denatured alcohol and also vacuum the inside of the printer to remove any dust and paper debris.

After you clean the printer, check that it is adequately lubricated as described in the next section. Before returning the printer to the customer, inspect the springs and paper feed rollers, and check the basic operation of the printer.

WARNING
	Disconnect the printer from the external AC power
	source before you perform any maintenance
	procedures.
CAUTION
	Do not use thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone-
	based solvents on the plastic components of the
	printer.

Table 6-1 provides information about the recommended lubricants. These lubricants are EPSON G-26 and O-2, which have been tested extensively and found to comply with the needs of the printer.

EPSON recommends the printer be lubricated at the points illustrated in Figures 6-1 and 6-2. Table 6-2 lists each lubrication point along with the lubricant and amount recommended for that point.

Before applying a lubricant, be sure the surface to be lubricated is clean. Do not apply too much lubricant, because this may damage nearby printer parts.
