Maintenance and Troubleshooting

B. CLEANING THE LASER WINDOWS

Cleaning the Laser Windows is necessary if debris, dust, finger prints or

smoke residue are visible on the windows. Typically, poor print quality

would be the first sign of Laser Window contamination.

To clean the windows, first disconnect power. Then use a soft, dry cloth

to wipe away the contamination. If there is smoke residue you may

need to use a small amount of isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol to remove

the debris.

Note:

To clean the Laser Window on the Carrier you may need to use a

cotton swab to reach it. The cloth or cotton swab should not be

saturated with alcohol.
