Clean the rail encoder strip (bi-weekly)

Ink dust and debris can accumulate on the encoder strip and block accurate reading of the encoder marks by the carriage encoder reader.

1.Using a lint-free cloth moistened with IPA (Isopropyl alcohol), wipe the top and bottom of the encoder strip, cleaning the entire length of strip.

Use common rubbing alcohol, which is 70% isopropyl alcohol and 30% water.

2.After cleaning most of the encoder strip, move the carriage to clean the remainder of the encoder strip.
