KODAK 1200i WIDE-FORMAT PRINTING SYSTEM

Routine Maintenance

IMPORTANT: It is suggested to perform a weekly cleaning action on the printer (i.e. every Monday morning for 20 minutes) instead of attempting to remember the user guide cleaning intervals.

A. Clean the following assemblies:

1.Encoder Strip (lint-free swabs dampened with Windex® or a mild dish soap and water solution). Thoroughly clean the top and bottom surfaces of the entire length of the encoder strip (including the area near the service station; access cartridges to move carriage out). Repeat procedure with new swabs until no ink residues are observed on swab surfaces.

NOTE: Windex solution should be mainly used on printers running pigment inks.

2.Service Station (lint-free towel/lint-free swab dampened with a mild dish soap & water solution). Gently clean service station seals & wipers; ensure the outside edges of the wipers are thoroughly cleaned.

CAUTION: do not remove the service station to clean (only Authorized Service Providers should remove the service station when necessary).

3.Slide Shaft (lint-free towel dampened with Windex solution or isopropyl alcohol). Thoroughly clean the entire length of the slide shaft, including the portion near the service station zone.

NOTE: do not apply solutions directly on the carriage bushings; allow shaft to dry before moving carriage assembly.
