Section 6: Maintenance and

Troubleshooting

The Publisher 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 Publisher'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 PUBLISHER

Use a clean, lint-free rag with a small amount of ammonia window cleaner to clean the Publisher'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 Publisher's power cords before cleaning. Resume operation only after the surfaces are completely dry.

B. PERFORMING A ROBOTIC SELF-TEST

To ensure that everything is working properly, a Self-Test feature is built in to your Publisher. In this mode, the Robotic Disc Transporter will go through the motions of picking and placing a disc to ensure proper working order. This test may be performed without connecting the Publisher to the PC.

Perform the test by doing the following steps:

•Load some discs into the Input Bin

•Open the top recorder tray by pressing the eject button on the recorder.

•Make sure the Publisher's front cover is closed

•With the Publisher turned on, press the Cartridge Button

•While holding the Cartridge Button, press the Power

Button until the robotics start to move.

•Release both buttons

•To stop the test, wait until the disc has moved to the Output Bin and press the Power Button.
