Maintenance 5-1
5 Maintenance and Cleaning
5.1 General information
The DC5(sx) has a number of sliding surfaces, made of smooth metals and plastics. They are
virtually friction-free and require no lubrication. They will, however, collect dust and lint,
which may affect the performance of the DC5(sx). Keep the DC5(sx) as clean as possible by
keeping the front cover closed at any time. When necessary, clean the unit with a soft cloth,
dampened with isopropyl alcohol or mild detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
5.1.1 Cleaning the drive system
After a while and certain usage, the sleeves of the drive drum may become clogged with
accumulated residue from the media liner. This situation may affect traction, as the media
will tend to slip between the pinch rollers and the drive sleeves.
1. Unplug the power cord.
2. Apply a mild solvent (normally used to remove old glue residue) on the yellow sleeves
and wait for it to dissolve the accumulated residue.
3. Clean with a brush (toothbrush is recommended).
4. Repeat for all dirty drive sleeves.
5.1.2 Cleaning the media sensors
After a while and certain usage, the sensor may become dirty with accumulated residue
from the media. This situation may cause malfunctioning of the DC5(sx).
1. The front sensor is located on the DC5(sx) left side; next to the pinch roller. The rear
sensor is located on the same line as the front sensor but on the rear plate.
2. To keep the sensors clean, it is sufficient to wipe them out with a cotton swab.
