Routine Service

	Periodic cleaning ensures efficient operation and clear print quality, and it is
	the only maintenance your printer requires. If the printer is located in a dusty
	area or is used for heavy duty printing, clean it more often.
	If print quality does not improve even after cleaning, contact your authorized
	Printronix representative.
Warning	Disconnect the power source before cleaning the printer.
	Vor dem Säubern des Druckers ist die Netzverbindung zu
	unterbrechen.
	Débranchez l’alimentation avant de nettoyer l’imprimante.
	Desconecte la fuente de energía antes de limpiar la impresora.
	Staccare la fonte di energia prima della pulitura della stampante.
	Exterior Cleaning
	Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild detergent soap. (Dishwashing liquid
	works well.) Do not use abrasive powders or chemical solvents. Clean the
	windows with plain water or mild window cleaner. Always apply the cleaning
	solution to the cloth; never pour cleaning solution directly onto the printer.
	Interior Cleaning
	Over time, particles of paper and ink accumulate inside impact printers. This
	is normal. Paper dust and ink build-up must be removed periodically to avoid
	degraded print quality. Most paper dust accumulates around the ends of the
	platen and ribbon path.
	To clean the interior of the printer, perform the following steps and refer to
	Figure 22 for cabinet models.
	1. Power off the printer and unplug the printer power cord.
	2. Open the printer cover. Fully raise the forms thickness lever. Unload
	paper. Refer to the P5000LJ Series Printers Quick Reference Guide.
