Routine Service
Periodic cleaning ensures efficient operation and clear print quality, and it is
the only maintenance your printer requires. If the printer is located in a dusty
area or is used for heavy duty printing, clean it more often.
If print quality does not improve even after cleaning, contact your authorized
Printronix representative.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean with a soft, lint-free cloth and mild detergent soap. (Dishwashing liquid
works well.) Do not use abrasive powders or chemical solvents. Clean the
windows with plain water or mild window cleaner. Always apply the cleaning
solution to the cloth; never pour cleaning solution directly onto the printer.
Interior Cleaning
Over time, particles of paper and ink accumulate inside impact printers. This
is normal. Paper dust and ink build-up must be removed periodically to avoid
degraded print quality. Most paper dust accumulates around the ends of the
platen and ribbon path.
To clean the interior of the printer, perform the following steps and refer to
Figure 22 for cabinet models.
1. Power off the printer and unplug the printer power cord.
2. Open the printer cover. Fully raise the forms thickness lever. Unload
paper. Refer to the P5000LJ Series Printers Quick Reference Guide.
Warning Disconnect the power source before cleaning the printer.
