c. Open the lid and using the 3mm long handled Allen Wrench, remove the
screws indicated in the pictures below. The right side will be the
hardest one to reach – this is where the long handle and ball end really
come in handy – especially when you go to put the cover back on.
5. With the covers off and the lid down,
look down at the top and you’ll see the
Z-axis lead screw and lead screw nut.
As you press the slew keys you’ll see
the lead screw turn which raises and
lowers the printhead and carriage
assembly. Make sure that you do not
run the printhead down into the platen
– damage to the printhead can occur.
Using a cleaning swab, apply a small amount of synthetic grease along the
exposed length of the lead screw, then using the slew keys, run the lead screw
back and forth a few times to spread the grease.
6. Now lift up the lid and apply synthetic grease (sparingly) to the friction points
on the carriage
assembly.
7. With the cassette carriage in the down
position, the foil pins are exposed. Put one
drop of 3 in 1 oil on each pin.
8. Run the carriage up and down at least 10
times (with the cover open) to distribute the
grease and oil.
9. Replace the covers and you’re back in
business.
Please call if you have any questions.
