Edge FX Lubrication
What: Lubrication of the cassette carriage, cassette pins, Z-axis lead screw, etc.
Why: Chattering noise that occurs when the cassette carriage moves down and up.
This can also lead to color to color registration problems.
What you will need:
• 2.5mm Allen Wrench
• 3mm Long Allen Wrench (Ball end is best)
• Synthetic Grease
• 3 in 1 Oil
• Cleaning Swabs (Fingers will do, but I don’t recommend it.)
How: Throughout this procedure, you will be raising and lowering the cassette
carriage. To do so, follow these simple instructions. (This takes you into menus and
functions that can adversely affect print quality. Do not press any buttons that are
not specifically mentioned in these instructions.)
• Make sure the Edge is Offline
• Press F2 + F4 at the same time to enter the Manufacturing Menu
• Press Next 3 times to get to Manufacturing Menu 4
• Press F1 (Z-Axis)
• Press the < (left slew button) to lower the cassette carriage and > (right slew
button) to raise it.
• When you are finished, press F3 to cancel out of the Manufacturing Menu.
Now, on to the good stuff –
1. Remove the foil caddy
2. Raise the cover
3. Using the instructions above, lower and raise the cassette carriage a few times
to identify the points that rub or slide against. You will probably notice more
“chatter” when the carriage is moving back up. Leave the carriage in the up
position.
4. Remove the covers:
a. Using the 3mm Allen Wrench, remove
the three screws holding in the black
cover around the caddy slot. (Note
that the longer one goes in the
bottom when you put it back
together.)
b. Using the 2.5mm Allen Wrench,
remove the two round head screws
from the back, top cover.
