Preventive Maintenance

3Replace the Carriage Rail Oiler on page 6-150 with the new one contained in the kit and add 2-3 drops of oil to the foam of the Carriage Rail Oiler.

4Use an Oil Dispenser (Q6675-60062) to lubricate the Carriage Rear Bushing.

General Cleaning

Proper general cleaning should include the following:

To prevent an electric shock, make sure that the Printer is switched OFF and unplugged before any cleaning is performed. Do NOT let any water get inside the Printer.

1Blow away dust accumulation with compressed air if available.

2Clean the outer surface of the Printer with a damp sponge or cloth. Use a mild soap and water solution if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

3Wipe the Printer dry with a soft lint-free cloth.

Cleaning the Drive Roller and Overdrive

If ink is spilled on the Overdrive, remove the ink immediately. Due to the ink's reflectance, ink on the Overdrive can disrupt the Printer's edge-sensing function. To remove any ink from the Overdrive, perform the following procedure:

Prevent water or other liquids from running onto electrical components or circuits, or through openings in the Electronics Module.

1Perform the Turn Drive Roller Utility. See 1. Turn Drive Roller on page 3-58.

2Open the window and apply any common household cleaning solution (water based only) to a soft, lint-free rag and apply it to the Drive Roller and Overdrive surface while it is rotating. Make sure that you thoroughly clean the Drive Roller and Overdrive surface.

3Press Enter when you have completed the cleaning procedure.

4Allow the Drive Roller to dry before loading media in to the Printer.

Level of Printer Usage

Normal printer use means 6,000,000 Carriage Cycles (which corresponds to approximately 100,000 A0 prints on average). Under normal usage conditions, it will be approximately 5 years before the printer needs maintenance. If the printer is used more than the normal usage conditions, then it will need maintenance service much more frequently.

One of the EEROM counters is assigned to counting the number of carriage cycles.
