MAINTENANCE
Maintenance 3-3
Printer problems can be caused by an accumulation of dirt or other
contamination on the slide shaft. This contamination may lead to drag
on the carriage. Extreme drag results in a “carriage axis failure” fault
and will stop the carriage motion. These problems may be eliminated
by maintaining and cleaning the slide shaft at intervals determined by
the environmental conditions. Do not use any lubrication.
To clean the slide shaft:
1. Turn the printer OFF. Disconnect the power cord and
interface cable.
2. Raise the printer lid.
3. Moisten a clean cloth or paper wipe with isopropyl alcohol.
4. Wipe the length of the slide shaft with the moistened cloth or
wipe.
5. Manually move the carriage assembly from side to side.
6. Wipe the shaft again to remove any deposits left from the
carriage.
7. Close the cover and reconnect the power cord and interface
cable, turn the printer ON and perform the PRIME procedure.
Be sure that the carriage moves freely on the slide shaft.
Service Station Cleaning
Ink and dust may build up on the service station, resulting in contami-
nation which may smear the prints. The service station is cleaned as
follows:
1. Turn the printer OFF. Disconnect the power cord and
interface cable.
2. Raise the printer lid.
3. Carefully move the carriage toward the center of the printer.
