Maintenance and Troubleshooting
Section 6: Maintenance and
Troubleshooting
The Printer is designed to operate for extended periods of time
with very little attention. In fact, no regular maintenance is
recommended other than cleaning the outside case.
NOTE:
Do NOT attempt to oil or grease the Printer's Robotic Arm shaft or
other components. You will likely cause more harm than good! Any
moving parts are designed to operate for the life of the machine with
no additional lubrication required.
A. CLEANING THE PRINTER
Use a clean, lint-free rag with a small amount of ammonia
window cleaner to clean the Printer's outside case and trays.
This type of cleaner is very effective on inks that may
accumulate on the printer tray. Stronger cleaning solutions are
NOT recommended because they may damage the paint and
plastic materials from which the parts are manufactured.
Always disconnect your Printer's power cords before cleaning.
Resume operation only after the surfaces are completely dry.
B. CLEANING THE INK CARTRIDGES
It may be necessary to clean the ink cartridge nozzles if you
notice reduced print quality, or if you suspect an cartridge
nozzle has become slightly dried out or clogged. If you are
having print quality problems, follow the steps below:
1. Remove the print cartridge.
2. Moisten a lint-free cloth with water.
3. Hold the cloth against the
nozzles for three seconds.
This will “wick” some
additional ink onto the
damp cloth.
4. Wipe in one direction only.
5. Repeat the process.
