6.2REGULAR MAINTENANCE

The V8.5e thermal plotter is engineered to require minimal preventative maintenance. If the thermal printhead and platen roller are cleaned regularly, and the plotter is kept free of debris, extra maintenance should rarely be required.

This minimal preventative maintenance is the customers responsibility. Damage to the plotter that has in The Imaging System Group’s opinion resulted from neglect or misuse will not be covered under warranty.
