6.3 Lubrication and Adhesion
Use of lubricants and adhesives has a considerable effect on the performance and durability of the printer.
Lubrication requires appropriate selection of the lubricant, especially at extreme temperatures. Apply
lubricants and adhesives specified in this service manual, which are chosen based on the analysis of
technical information and results from the experimental use of a wide range of lubricants and adhesives.
Clean the lubrication points before lubricating. Lubricate the printer periodically according to the
specifications. Make sure the printing mechanism is clear of dirt or dust after cleaning, disassembling, or
assembling the printer. Adhere all specified parts when assembling the printer or replacing the parts. Use an
adequate amount of adhesive, and dry it thoroughly since the overflow of surplus adhesive may cause
malfunctions in nearby parts.
The lubricants and adhesives specified for this printer are selected based on evaluations of their
properties when used with this printer. Never apply items that are not listed since use of other items may
result in short printer life and poor printer performance.
