Cleaning the Plotter
To maintain the plotter in good operating condition, keep it free of dust accumulation, ink, and other contamination. Cleaning intervals are determined by the plotter environment and by the types of plotter supplies used.
W A R N I N G | Disconnect the plotter from the power source prior |
| to performing any cleaning DO NOT allow liquid to |
| run on to electrical components or circuits or |
| through openings in the enclosure as this can |
| create a shock hazard leading to death or injury |
General Cleaning
Proper general cleaning should include the following:
1Blow away dust accumulation with compressed air if available.
2Clean the outer surface of the plotter with a damp sponge or cloth. Use a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3Wipe the plotter dry with a soft lint3free cloth.
Cleaning the Drive Roller
Due to the ink's reflectance, ink spilled on the roller can disrupt the plotter's edge3sensing function. To remove any ink from the roller, perform the following procedure:
1Connect the plotter to the ac power source.
2Switch the plotter ON, and wait for it to finish initialization.
3Open the top cover.
4Keep the cover switch pressed while pressing Form Feed repeatedly until the stained area of the drive roller is positioned at the top where it can be cleaned.
5Turn the plotter OFF, and disconnect it from the ac power source.
6Apply IPA (alcohol) to a soft, lint3free rag.
7Use the rag to clean the roller surface.
8Allow the drive roller to dry.
9If other areas of the roller have been stained by ink, repeat the above steps.
10Reconnect the plotter to the ac source, turn the plotter on, and load paper to test that no ink reflections disrupt operation of media loading.
