Falcon User Manual - Remittance Processing - OPEX Corporation
Cleaning the system
When properly maintained, the Falcon will continue to operate efficiently and
smoothly. However, over time, dust and dirt buildup can degrade the perfor-
mance, resulting in problems such as skewing, double feeds, item hesitation
and damage. The conveyor, stacker assembly, feed assembly (feed belts, idler
pulleys, pre-feed tire, retard pad) and the CIS (contact image sensor) require
regular cleaning.
Regular and scheduled maintenance will ensure that the Falcon continues to
function properly, with minimum downtime and maximum efficiency. This
maintenance procedure consists of debris/dust removal and general cleaning.
Conveyor and transport assemblies
1 Stop all jobs and ensure that all motors are stopped.
2 Check the transport area once a shift. Open the transport door (Figure 23)
and clear the area of paper debris, dust, envelope flaps, etc.
CAUTION
Caution: Be careful when working with cleaners. A cleaner-soaked cloth or
similar material should never be used to clean moving objects. For example,
do not clean belts or rollers when the motors are running. The use of a cloth
or a similar material on moving mechanisms can result in severe personal
injury. If a belt, roller, pulley, or a similar part needs to be cleaned, hand-
crank it during cleaning or clean it while stationary.
