Replacing Air Supply Filters
There are two air filtration systems in the output device:
•
a compressed air filter system
•
a cooling-air filter system
These systems include a total of three filters which you access by removing
the right-end panel (for the cooling-air filter), and opening the front panel
(for the compressed air filters). Inspect and replace these filters regularly.
WARNING: Failure to disconnect the compressed air supply before replacing a
compressed air filter can result in personal injury or damage to the output device.
Frequency of Filter Replacement
Do not rely on the appearance of filters to determine when the filters
should be cleaned or replaced. They can seem dirty before they need to be
replaced if there is coarse dust in the operating environment, and they can
appear clean when they need to be replaced if there are smaller particulates
in the air. Filters should be replaced every three months.
Compressed Air Supply Filters
There are two compressed air supply filters:
•
5 micron
•
0.01 micron (micro-mist)
The filters, shown in Figure 22 below, are located inside the front access
panel. These filters clean and dry the compressed air that is supplied to the
output device pneumatics
