Preventive Maintenance
Moisture on the Printer
Users should use the Printer in an environment between 20% and 80%
relative humidity. To recover from moisture condensation, turn the Printer Off,
and, using the main roller as a reference, wait until the Printer is completely
dry before using it again.
Noisy Carriage Bushing
To prevent noisy movement of the carriage, remove aluminum or dust
particles from the bushing at the back of the carriage, and from the slider
path along which the bushing moves. Lubricate the slider path using the
Lubrification Kit (Q5669-60692).
Belt Swelling
To prevent new belts from swelling incorrectly, keep them in their bags with
desiccant until you need to install them.
Cleaning the Printer

accumulation, ink, and other contamination. Cleaning intervals are
determined by the Printer environment and by the types of Printer supplies
used.
