Maintenance

To obtain optimum performance from the DEClaser 2100 printer, you must perform the prescribed care and maintenance as outlined in this chapter. This chapter describes how to properly maintain the printer and covers the following topics:

Cleaning the printer

Cleaning the primary corona wire

Cleaning the transfer corona wire

Extending EP-S cartridge life

Replacing the EP-S cartridge

Replacing the ozone filter

7.1 Cleaning the Printer

Keeping the printer clean helps ensure optimum print quality because stray paper dust and toner can adversely affect the voltage levels placed on the corona wires, paper, and electrophotostatic drum. Although cleaning is part of the procedure you follow when replacing the EP-S cartridge, you may find it necessary to clean the printer between cartridge changes if print quality begins to deteriorate.

CAUTION: To prevent possible damage to the internal and external surfaces of the printer, do not use cleaners or solvents. Use a clean cloth dampened with water only.
