Maintaining X-Gen
Maintenance Cautions and Warnings
·
Do not use soap and water, cleaning solvents, or furniture wax
on the modules. To keep modules free of dirt and dust, cover the
modules when not in use. Clean the modules periodically by
wiping with a dry, lint-free cloth.
·
For cleaning parts that come into contact with cassette tape, use
only isopropyl alcohol (at least 90% pure) or a high-quality liquid
head cleaner. Using other fluids can cause damage.
·
Never touch the tape heads with any hard or sharp objects, stiff
brushes, or anything made of metal.
·
Do not exert pressure on heads or realignment may be needed.
Cleaning the Tape Head, Capstan, and Pressure
Roller
To ensure the best copy quality, clean all cassette tape contact points
regularly, as described and shown below. The frequency of cleaning
required depends on frequency of use, type of tape being used, and
environmental conditions (for example, a dusty room).
It is especially important to keep the tape heads clean, because improper
tape contact with the tape heads causes dropouts, fading, and a
noticeable loss in high-frequency response on the copies.
1. Remove all cassettes from the
Control
and
Copy
modules.
2. While pressing and holding the Control module’s
Stop
button, press
the
Copy
button. The heads and rollers will engage (but the spindles
won’t move) to allow cleaning.
