6 Caring for Your Printer

Overview

To ensure the best print quality and the most reliable printer operation, follow these simple guidelines:

■Always use high-quality paper and only Tektronix-brand Transparencies, Glossy Coated paper, and Fabric Transfer media.

■To maintain print quality, use the troubleshooting information in this book and the Quick Reference Guide, as well as the Consumables Page and Service Print 1 in the front panel’s HelpPages menu.

■Double-sided printing and specialty media will require more frequent cleaning of the rollers and will reduce the average life of the consumables.

Caution Keep the Imaging Unit’s light exposure to a minimum — less than 90 seconds of artificial light and no exposure to sunlight — or you may damage the unit:

■When installing a new Imaging Unit, keep the protective plastic sheet on until immediately before inserting the unit.

■If, when installing the Imaging Unit, you also need to install other components, install the Imaging Unit last to minimize its light exposure.

■When changing a toner cartridge or clearing a media jam, make sure that you close the printer’s right side door quickly to avoid any light exposure to the Imaging Unit.

■Do not leave the printer’s front door open for extended periods of time (for example, several hours).

■Do not touch the underside or the right side of the Imaging Unit; fingerprints may appear on your output.

■Use only laser paper for double-sided printing; other media may damage printer components.
