CHAPTER 7.
OPERATOR CARE AND MAINTENANCE
INTRODUCTION
These shuttle matrix printers are designed so that preventive
maintenance is
not
required. There are
no
lubrication requirements;
therefore, operator maintenance is minimal.
OPERATOR CLEANING PROCEDURES
5050/5100 (50, 55 OR 60 DBA) CABINET MODEL
Clean the printer as necessary. The area where the printer is located,
the amount of usage, and the type of paper used all affect how often
cleaning is required.
1.
Turn the power switch off and disconnect the power cord from the
AC source.
2.
Turn the print gap wheel to the
LOAD
position and remove the
paper.
3.
Turn the ribbon locking lever to the
LOAD
position and remove
the ribbon cartridge.
4.
Rotate the control panel to the open position.
5.
Starting with the center thumbscrew, loosen the three
thumbscrews and remove the ribbon deck. See Figure 7-1.
Caution
Use extreme care while cleaning around the ribbon shield area.
The shield is constructed of thin metal and the edges are sharp.
