Section 6: Maintenance and

Troubleshooting

The Printer is designed to operate for extended periods of time with very little attention. In fact, no regular maintenance is recommended other than cleaning the outside case.

NOTE: Do NOT attempt to oil or grease the Printer's Robotic Arm shaft or other components. You will likely cause more harm than good! Any moving parts are designed to operate for the life of the machine with no additional lubrication required.

A. CLEANING THE PRINTER

Use a clean, lint-free rag with a small amount of ammonia window cleaner to clean the Printer's outside case and trays. This type of cleaner is very effective on inks that may accumulate on the printer tray. Stronger cleaning solutions are NOT recommended because they may damage the paint and plastic materials from which the parts are manufactured. Always disconnect your Printer's power cords before cleaning. Resume operation only after the surfaces are completely dry.

B. CLEANING THE INK CARTRIDGES

It may be necessary to clean the ink cartridge nozzles if you notice reduced print quality, or if you suspect an cartridge nozzle has become slightly dried out or clogged. If you are having print quality problems, follow the steps below:

1.Remove the print cartridge.

2.Moisten a lint-free cloth with water.

3.Hold the cloth against the nozzles for three seconds. This will “wick” some

additional ink onto the damp cloth.

4.Wipe in one direction only.

5.Repeat the process.
