Cleaning and Maintenance
Lubrication
In general, all of the printer's bearings and motors are lifetime
factory-lubricated. However, over time and under certain extreme operating
conditions, oil and grease may dry out, causing squeaks and rumbling noises in
the printer. Look for fine metal particles — a clear sign of an old or worn
bearing. Replace the bearing or the assembly it is a part of.
A drop of oil or grease on a noisy bushing will quiet a noisy printer. Too much
lubrication can get into the paper path and attract dust, so apply lubrication
sparingly.
Lubricate the following only when needed:
■
Bushings:
Apply a drop of light oil to a bushing if it is noisy or
running dry.
■
Maintenance station cam gear:
This gear requires only a small
amount of white grease for noise reduction purposes. Apply grease
sparingly so that it does not fling off of the gears when they turn. You
need only to apply a dab of grease to a single gear and the grease will
migrate throughout the entire gear train.
Apply grease to the cam pin in the cam gear’s pin groove.
■
White (nylon) plastic bearings and cams:
No lubrication required.
