Clean the stacker rollers

WARNING!

The stacker becomes hot during use. Before cleaning, switch it oﬀ and give it time to cool.

Ink tends to stick to the main stacker roller and the small output rollers, which should therefore be cleaned

regularly using a fabric cloth dampened with water.

The frequency with which cleaning is needed depends to some extent on the paper type in use.

●

For plain, coated or heavyweight coated paper, once a month may be suﬃcient.

●

For translucent, vellum, glossy or natural tracing paper, cleaning may be required once a week even with

the slowest print modes.

Move or store the stacker

Before moving or storing the stacker, take a couple of steps to reduce the amount of space it occupies.

Undo the screws at either side of the stacker tray, and let the tray hang vertically.
