check the printout to confirm whether the problem has been resolved.
Regular Maintenance
The printer requires regular part cleaning and part replacement to maintain print quality;
the maintenance schedule depends on the frequency with which the printer is used.
Failure to perform appropriate maintenance will shorten product life.
This guide comes with a check sheet so that you can tell at a glance when maintenance
was last performed. Print the check sheet to help schedule maintenance.
See “Cleaning Check Sheet” on page 141 and “Regular Replacement Check Sheet” on
page 142.
