page 3-1

Standard inspection and cleaning procedure

•

Switch off printer power, and disconnect the AC power cord from the electrical outlet.

•

Remove and inspect the photodevelopers and toner cartridges, shielding them from strong light.

•

Inspect the interior of the printer, removing foreign matter such as paper clips, staples, pieces of paper

or transparencies, paper dust, hair, oil, grease, or toner.

•

Clean the printer interior using a lint-free cloth. Do not use solvents or chemical cleaners to clean the

printer interior.

•

Use only the specified oil or lubricant on printer parts (some service parts are lubricated at the factory).

•

Inspect and, if necessary, clean all rubber/plastic rolls with a lint-free cloth. Dry the rolls with a lint-free

cloth.

•

While cleaning, inspect the interior of the printer for damaged wires, loose connections, toner leakage,

loose springs, and damaged or worn parts.

•

Be sure the printer is on a single, flat, strong table or desk top.

•

Inspect all supplies (OCR, cartridges, photodevelopers/toner cartridges, belts, fuser maintenance kits

and paper sources (cassettes, trays, feeders, duplex drawers, finisher, mailbox trays) for obvious

damage and proper installation (paper guides not too tight). Inspect for correct media usage (paper,

transparencies, labels).

•

Print demo page.

•

If additional paper sources are installed, print a demo page from each of these (if possible).

•

Failure to print from an additional tray or feeder may imply one or more pins are bent in the mating

connector.
