Tektronix Phaser 300X user manual Using isopropyl alcohol

4Caring for Your Printer

Using isopropyl alcohol

You must supply isopropyl alcohol (available at pharmacies) because shipping regulations prohibit supplying alcohol or presoaked cleaning materials with the printer.

In general, it is best to use the purest isopropyl alcohol (99%) available to you. Alcohol that is 90% pure also works well. You can use 70% pure isopropyl alcohol, but if you do, you must wait much longer after cleaning to ensure that it is completely dry. For example, 99% isopropyl alcohol might dry in as quickly as one minute; 70% isopropyl alcohol can take as long as 15 minutes.

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

Wherever the cleaning instructions refer to a lint-free cloth moistened with isopropyl alcohol (A), you can substitute a pre-soaked alcohol cloth (B). The reorder cleaning kit (order number 016-1144-00) includes these pre-soaked alcohol cloths. You can also order these packets separately in packs of 10 (order number 006-7824-00).
