Schedule of tasks

The parts and supplies required for these procedures may be purchased separately or in part number CQ168A, HP Scitex FB950 User Cleaning Kit. This will enable the best possible performance and minimize down time due to maintenance-related issues. The kit is designed for quarterly (every three months) use, but maintenance may be required more often with heavy printer usage (refer to the instructions for details). To order, see your HP reseller or representative.

The table below presents the user's cleaning tasks and a log form for you to track when each task is performed. The printer also displays maintenance reminders on the control panel according to this schedule.
