Panasonic KX-P1131E - Manual (Page 38)

Periodic Maintenance
The printer does not require any routine maintenance. However, reasonable care of the printer will extend its
life. The following periodic measures are recommended:
• Cleaning the unit is the most important action the user can perform.
The frequency of cleaning is dependent upon the environment.
– Turn the power off and unplug the AC power cord.
– Clean the case and covers with a soft cloth. Use any mild commercial cleaner on the cloth, do not spray
directly on the printer.
– Raise the top cover and pull up the roller cover. Vacuum or dust the inside area of the unit. Be very
careful not to damage the printhead ribbon cable or the carriage drive belt.
CAUTION
• The printhead may be hot, use caution when the cover is open.
– The platen should be cleaned with denatured alcohol only.
– The carriage guide bar can be lubricated with a very light oil. Contact your Authorized Panasonic
Service Center for advice on lubrication.
Ribbon Cassette
Note
• If the ribbon cassette begins to catch, snag, or tear from the printhead, your printer requires servicing.
