Tektronix 340 manual Cleaning Update

Cleaning Update

Pre-soaked alcohol cloth wipes provide the most effective tool for cleaning the printer’s rubber rollers. You can obtain these wipes by ordering them in packs of 10 (Tektronix order number 006-7824-01). As a substitute, use a coffee filter soaked with 90% isopropyl alcohol.

Caution: Do not use rubbing alcohol because it can contian water and oils that leave an undesirable residue on the printer’s parts.

When cleaning the printer’s rubber rollers, fold an alcohol-soaked cloth and hold with moderate pressure against each individual roller while rotating it. Scrub each roller thoroughly by rotating the roller at least four or five complete revolutions. If the cloth becomes dirty, discard it and use another.
