SECTION 4 PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
0$,17(1$1&(&21&(376
This section of the maintenance manual is divided into two basic categories: preventive
maintenance and corrective maintenance.
Preventive maintenance procedures may be performed by the operator as well as the service
technician and should be performed on a regular basis. Preventive maintenance consists of a
visual inspection and general cleaning of the interior and exterior of the printer. Preventive
maintenance also includes cleaning the printhead and the associated media and ribbon paths.
Corrective maintenance provides procedures for resolving faults by adjustment or
replacement of components or modules. These procedures are provided specifically for
service technicians.

The spindle torque should be tested every year, or 500 rolls of media for
the media take-up spindle; and every 200 rolls of ribbon for the ribbon
supply and ribbon take-up spindles.
The felt washers need to be replaced when they have dried out or
deteriorated. When they need to be replaced, the correct spindle torque
cannot be achieved. The spindle torque need not be readjusted unless
the printer is malfunctioning.
