Caring for Your Printer 4

Cleaning kit

A cleaning kit comes with the printer. The cleaning kit contains these items:

Lint-free cleaning wipes

A plastic bottle for isopropyl alcohol

A cleaning tray for cleaning paper-pick rollers

Cleaning instructions (you may use those instructions, or follow the instructions in the next few pages)

For the cleaning kit that is shipped with the printer, you must supply isopropyl alcohol (available at pharmacies); shipping regulations prohibit supplying alcohol or presoaked cleaning materials with the printer.

In general, you should use the purest isopropyl alcohol available to you. 99% pure is best, and 90% also works well.

Caution Do not use rubbing alcohol because it can contain water and oils that leave undesirable residue on the printer parts.

Note To order a new cleaning kit, call your dealer or Tektronix (order number 016-1233-00). You can also order a cleaning kit containing presoaked alcohol cleaning wipes (order number 016-1276-00).
