2. Maintenance (lubrication and dedusting)
Dedusting:
•
The printer should be brought to the maintenance devision in the normal work
position and without heavy vibrations.
With a vacuum cleaner with flexible tube, the dust can be removed carefully.
We suggest to use a small adapter for the vacuum cleaner with a tube of about 5
mm diameter and a bigger one of about 12 mm. Both with a length of about 20
cm.
•
Never use compressed air for dedusting!!
The dust could cover the bearings
and other critical places like sensors.
Lubrication:
•
To expand the live circle and to improve the MTBF/MCBF values, we suggest to
grease all the sliding parts of the printer every 2-3 years or in the case of a
failure.
•
Oil must never get into the paper feeding system or in electronic parts. As access
to the bearings is difficult, the lubrication should only be done by qualified
personnel and with appropriate oil. If this is not possible, the lubrication should
only be done when the printer is disassembled.
•
As to oil, we suggest:
Blasol
158 (also 00158)
You can find it in the internet when you look for
hydraulic or industrial oil.
