6.1 PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance includes regular cleaning of the case exterior (using denatured alcohol), as well
as occasional vacuuming of the mechanism’s interior to remove dust and paper debris. After cleaning
the unit, check that it is adequately lubricated (as described in Section 6.2, below). Before returning
the printer to the customer, check that the printer operates normally.
WARNING
Do not use thinner,
trichloroethylene, or ketone-based solvents on the plastic components of the
printer.
6.2 LUBRICATION AND ADHESIVE APPLICATION
Lubrication should be performed when mechanical noise of the printer exceeds a certain level or when
disassembly or replacement of the printer is performed.
EPSON recommends that the printer be lubricated at the points as listed in Table 6-2. The two
recommended lubricants are EPSON O-5, G-1 4, both of which have been tested extensively and found
to comply with the needs of this printer. (Table 6-1 provides details about these lubricants.) Before
applying a lubricant, be sure that the surface to be lubricated is clean. Do not apply too much lubricant,
as this may dirty or affect the adjacent parts.
Adhesive application is necessary at the point listed in Table 6-3. Figure 6-1 indicates the point at which
adhesive must be applied following disassembly or replacement. EPSON recommends
Neji lock #2(G)
adhesive. Do not let the adhesive overflow to adjacent parts when applying it.
