Introduction
This chapter contains general maintenance and cleaning instruc- tions for the Croma24 printer.
Scheduled Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance consists of a list of checks that are planned to be performed on a regular basis or when conditions warrant it.
Scheduled maintenance can be thought of as preventive mainte- nance since its purpose is to prolong the life of the printer. It is not intended to repair or isolate an existing problem, though it can sometimes be helpful in detecting a condition due to a weakened component that has not yet completely failed.
