MAINTENANCE
Trailing Cables Cleaning
Clean the trailing cables bi- weekly or as necessary to remove any buildup of debris.
Distilled water should be used. Do not pull too hard on the trailing cables or damage
may occur.
To clean the Trailing Cables:
1. Disconnect the power cord and interface cable.
2. Slightly dampen a lint-free cloth with water and wipe along the length of the
trailing cables on both sides. Ensure the encoder stabilizer bracket surface is
thoroughly cleaned. Clean the lower surface of the rear cover on the left side
of the printer.
3. Reconnect the power cord and interface cable.
Platen/Vacuum Hole Cleaning
To clean the external surfaces of the printer. Dampen a lint-free cloth with water
and wipe all surfaces of ink and debris. Ensure the platen surface is thoroughly
cleaned.
To clean the platen vacuum holes obtain a toothpick and gently remove lint and media
fiber from platen holes. Caution: do not push lint through platen holes or problems
with the stepper motor gearing may eventually occur leading to microbanding in
image output.
If the platen holes are not cleaned periodically then adequate vacuum suction be not
be available to pull media down during print operations.
