Collector and
Inspecting the

Therollerwastecollectorremoveswastematerialscrapedfromtheroller.
Suctionremovesthiswastetotheprinter’swastecontainer.
Thisassemblyshouldbecleanedweeklytopreventablockageinthetubes
leadingtothewastecontainer,sothatwastematerialdoesnotoverflowinto
theprinter.
Tocleantherollerwastecollector:
1. Prepare—
❒ M2.5andM2Hex(Allen)keys
❒ disposablecleaninggloves
❒ isopropanol(IPA—isopropylalcohol)orethanol(ethylalcohol)
❒ cleaningcloth
❒ cottonswabs(Q-tipsorsimilar)
2. Putonthegloves.
