Appendix I
Printer Maintenance
Always
Always keep your printer in a safe and clean location. Keep it away
from:
Dust and grease
Heaters and furnaces. Safe temperature range is 5°C (41°F) to
35°C(95°F)
Base unit for cordless telephone systems
Large electrical machines
Crowded areas (the paper needs room to flow freely)
Leaky ceilings
Rambunctious children or pets.
Now and Then
Clean particles and dust from the printer every so often with a soft
cloth or brush. Use a mild cleanser for the outside framework and,
after removing the ribbon cartridge, denatured alcohol for the inside.
The ribbon cartridge prints about 3 million characters. See your
Epson dealer for replacements.
Rarely
Once in a great while your printer should be lubricated. Epson rec-
ommends two lubricants: O-2 (Epson Part No. B710200001) and G-2
(Epson Part No. B70020001). Every 6 months or one million lines, use
