Paxar 545 user manual General, Cam Lubrication Procedure

Lubrication Procedure

General

The 545™ series printers are factory equipped with pre-lubricated bronze bearings that do not require lubrication. The one exception is the rub cams on either end of the rotary knife. Periodic cleaning of the printer and removal of dust will greatly enhance the length of the time the printer will function.

Cam - Lubrication Procedure

1)Clean any dust and residue from cams (using alcohol or other suitable solvent) as needed, or approximately every 100,000 cuts. Use any good quality general- purpose oil to keep the oilers from drying out. Excess oil may migrate onto the blades and cause jamming.

2)If lubrication is omitted, the knife will squeak and draw attention to required lubrication.

No other printer lubrication should be required in normal use.
