Cleaning the Machine 6.1
After processing large numbers of inserts, there may be a build up of grime and dust
on the rollers, and paper dust may obscure the optical sensors impairing efficiency.
To ensure the machine continues to operate effectively, the rollers and sensors should
be cleaned periodically, and particularly if a large run is envisaged.
If operating problems occur, the rollers and sensors should
always be cleaned first before taking further action.
Before any cleaning, maintenance and or servicing, the machine
must be completely isolated from the power source, by pressing
the toggle switch located at the rear of the Insert Head to the
off position, and unplugging the mains power cable completely
from the electrical power supply.
Cleaning Sensors
The machine uses optical sensors to track the movement of mail-pieces along the paper
path, and must be regularly cleaned to prevent false readings. Optical sensors consist
of the following two halves which both need thorough cleaning:
• Emitter
• Receiver
Ensure an invertible type non-flammable air duster is used to
clean sensors.
For most sensors, an arrow is stamped through the chassis to
show where the jet of the invertible non-flammable air-duster
should be directed. Ensure you clean the sensor lens, and not
the retaining bush next to it.
