MAINTENANCE
Your printer requires very little care. Occasional
cleaning and replacement of the ribbon cartridge
are all that is required.
Lubrication of the printer is usually not necessary.
If the print head carriage does not move smoothly back and forth, clean
the printer as described in this chapter. If the problem continues, contact
your dealer to determine whether lubrication might be needed.
The front cover, the rear stacker and the paper table of the printer help
protect against dust, dirt, and other contaminants. However, paper
produces small particles that accumulate inside the printer.
This section explains how to clean and vacuum the printer and how to
clean the platen.
It is easier to clean the printer when the front cover and the rear stacker
are removed.
