6–3Routine Service and Diagnostics
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. Always apply the cleaning solution to the cloth; never pour cleaning
solution directly onto the printer.
Interior Cleaning
Over time, particles of paper and ink accumulate inside impact printers. This
is normal. Paper dust and ink build–up must be periodically removed to
avoid degraded print quality. Most paper dust accumulates around the ends of
the platen and ribbon path.
To clean the interior of the printer, perform the following steps and refer to
Figure 6–1.
1. Turn off the printer power and unplug the printer power cord.
2. Unload paper (page 3–14).
3. Fully raise the forms thickness lever.
4. Unlatch both ribbon spools and carefully lift them off the hubs. Raise
the ribbon out of the ribbon path.
CAUTION
Vacuum carefully around the hammer bank and surrounding area to
avoid damage.
