No damage, blotches, or any type of foreign object (i.e. residue from
web, labels, etc.) should be visible underneath (nozzle plate).

Clean all ink residue off of all the guide rollers throughout the printer.

Clean the rollers of the friction drive thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol

–

nothing whatsoever should be left sticking to the rollers!

Clean the rollers of the web tension control thoroughly with isopropyl
alcohol

– nothing whatsoever should be left sticking to the rollers!

Clean the inside of the printer chassis with a lint-free cloth.

Use cloths dampened with isopropyl alcohol if necessary.

Check screw connections for tightness.

Check rollers for freedom of movement and dirt.

Check separator maintenance unit.

Clean printing table.

8.3.2
