6.Cleaning

This chapter describes the cleaning tasks you need to perform regularly on the 96/4635/180 IPS printer.

Cleaning the keyboard, monitor, and the exterior of the Printer Controller

Clean the exterior surfaces of your Printer Controller, including monitor and keyboard, as required. Clean daily, if possible.

Use the following supplies to clean the exterior surfaces:

Monitor: Use a soft, lint-free cloth dampened with a glass cleaner. Do not spray the liquid directly onto the monitor, it may cause damage.

Keyboard: Use a mild household detergent that has been poured or sprayed onto a cloth lightly dampened with water. Do not saturate the cloth; just dampen it.

Exterior: Use a mild household detergent that has been poured or sprayed onto a cloth lightly dampened with water. Do not saturate the cloth; just dampen it.

Caution: Do not allow liquids to drip onto anything electrical or mechanical. For the same reason, never spray or pour the cleaner directly onto the keyboard or the exterior surfaces of the system.

Cleaning the sensors and the reflective surfaces

Sensors at various points along the paper path indicate where sheets of paper are passing. After a sheet has passed a sensor, if too much time elapses before another sheet arrives, the system determines a jam has occurred, and printing stops. If a sensor becomes dirty, it may not accurately detect sheets passing and may give incorrect jam information. Therefore, it is important to clean sensors regularly.

Sensors are usually cleaned by your Xerox service representative as part of regular maintenance. However, under certain conditions you may be directed to clean them yourself by the Xerox Customer Support Center or by your local operating company.

1.Brush or wipe the sensor window lightly with a lint-free cloth, cleaning pad, or cotton swab.

Note: If the sensor is very dirty, use a small amount of alcohol on the swab.

2. Remove any paper dust present in the area.

Caution: Do not use any abrasives or strong solvents on the sensors.
