Tape Cartridges
Also, it is important to use the proper tape cartridges for your drive. If you are
unsure as to which type of cartridge to use, call Dimensions. Using a different
type of cartridge can damage the heads on the drive.
Every new tape cartridge should be retensioned once prior to using it as a backup
tape. After retensioning a new tape cartridge, the tape drive should be cleaned
using the procedure outlined above.
Terminal Screens
Use Fantastik or 409 all-purpose cleaners on a clean, soft rag or paper towels to
clean the plastic parts. Spray the rag, not the equipment. For the screen, use a
glass cleaner that is safe for television and computer screens with a clean, soft rag
or paper towels. Also, spray the rag, not the screen.
Keyboards
Use Fantastik or 409 all-purpose cleaner and clean rags or paper towels to clean
the key caps and surrounding areas. Spray the rag, not the equipment. Remove
the key caps, if desired, to clean all surfaces. If you remove the key caps, clean
only 1 keyboard at a time so the key caps are replaced on the correct machine. DO
NOT submerge the keyboard regardless of the manufacturer’s claims.
Printers
Turn the power off and unplug all cables.
Outside plastic cover Use Fantastik or 409 on a clean rag or paper towels.
Inside plastic cover Use compressed canned air or a compressor with a
moisture trap to blow out dust and lint.
Mechanism No cleaning or lubrication is recommended.
Ribbons Use the manufacturer’s suggested ribbon rather than
generic ribbons. They tend to last longer and wear more
consistently. DO NOT re-ink ribbons.
CAUTION: Do not turn the platen knob while the power is on. This strips the plastic gears that move
the paper through the printer.
