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. PERFORMING A ROBOTIC SELF-TEST

To ensure that everything is working properly, a Self-Test feature is built in to your Printer. 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 Printer 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 Printer's front cover is closed

With the Printer turned on, press the Cartridge Button

While holding the Cartridge Button, press the Power

Button until the robotics start to move.
