Regular Maintenance
The printer requires regular part cleaning and part
replacement to maintain print quality; the maintenance
schedule depends on the frequency with which the
printer is used.
Failure to perform appropriate maintenance will
shorten product life.
This guide comes with a check sheet so that you can tell
at a glance when maintenance was last performed. Print
the check sheet to help schedule maintenance.
