Chapter 6. Routine Service and Diagnostics
Overview
This chapter discusses general cleaning, running diagnostic tests, and
understanding fault messages.
The printer requires no routine maintenance beyond regular cleaning. Periodically
remove excess paper chaff and dust from the ribbon and paper paths. If print
quality or paper motion deteriorates seriously even after cleaning, contact your
IBM service representative for prompt attention.
Cleaning Requirements
Periodic cleaning ensures efficient operation and clear print quality. If the printer is
located in a dusty area or is used for heavy duty printing, clean it more often.
DANGER
<2> Switch off printer power and unplug the printer power cord before
cleaning the printer.
Exterior Cleaning
Clean the outside of the cabinet with a soft, lint–free cloth and mild detergent
soap. (Dishwashing liquid works well.) Do not use abrasive powders or chemical
solvents. Clean the windows with plain water or mild window cleaner.
Attention: Always apply the cleaning solution to the cloth; never pour cleaning
solution directly onto the printer.
