.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance is important to keep the printer in the best condition and to prevent
troubles in advance. Use the denatured alcohol to clean the exterior case and use the vacuum
cleaner if necessary, to remove dust and paper debris in the printer inside.
WARNING
Disconnect the printer from the AC socket before performing
maintenance.
CAUTION
Do not use thinner, trichloroethylene, or ketone-based solvents on
the plastic components of the printer.
Never use the oil and grease other than those specified in this
manual, and using different type of lubrication can damage the
printer and the components.
The influence that oil and grease give is great especially in low temperature. Therefore, EPSON
has been tested and analyzed various oil and grease extensively and chooses the best one for that
print.
