Printer Maintenance
Cleaning the Wipers
Cleaning the
Transport
Belts and
Floor
Assembly
The wipers beneath the banks of print cartridges will, over time, pick up ink, wax, clay and other material from the media it touches. Once enough of this material accumu- lates on the wipers, it will leave marks or smears on the media.
1.Loosen the Print Head Assembly locating screw.
2.Swivel the Print Head Assembly up and back to expose the wipers. (You may need to move the Print Head Assembliy to the front or rear to gain clearance to swivel the assembly fully back).
3.Use water to dampen a soft cloth to remove any ink, wax, clay, etc. and keep the wipers clean.
Ink will get sprayed on the transport belts and the floor assembly from all the purging, setting up and printing records, etc. Eventually enough ink will accumulate on the Transport Belts to give them a glossy sheen.
Use water to dampen a soft cotton cloth to remove ink from the Transport Belts and the Floor Assembly.
NOTE: Raise the Print Head Assemblies up and out of the way to clear the Floor Assembly.
