6.1 Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance involves occasionally vacuuming the printer mechanism to remove dust and paper
debris and regularly cleaning the case exterior with denatured alcohol. After cleaning the unit, check that it
is properly lubricated as described in Section 6.2, below. Also inspect the springs and rollers to see that they
are operating properly.
Disconnect the printer from the external AC power source before performing maintenance work.
Do not use thinner,
or ketone-based solvents on the plastic components of the
6.2
Lubrication
EPSON recommends that the printer be lubricated at the points shown in Figure 6-2. Table 6-2 lists each
lubrication point and its recommended lubricant. All the lubricants have been tested extensively and found
to comply with the requirements of this printer. Table 6-1 describes the lubricants.
Before applying lubricant, be sure to clean the surface to be lubricated. Do not apply too much lubricant, or
it may affect related parts.
