Cleaning The Printer; Replacing The Ozone Filter - Epson EPL-8000 User Manual

Cleaning the Printer

The maintenance procedures you perform each time you replace
the imaging cartridge should keep your printer running at its best.
However, fine particles of paper dust and ordinary dust can collect
inside the printer. If you notice a decline in print quality, clean the
inside of the printer, the roller in the paper path, and the paper
feed roller as described in this section.
You should also clean the paper cassette and the printer cover
every few months. These procedures are described later in this
section.
Whenever you clean the printer or replace the components,
perform a test print as described in Chapter 2. If the test print is
unsatisfactory, see Chapter

Replacing the ozone filter

Ozone is generated inside the printer by the high voltages used
during the printing process. The ozone filter is located inside the
printer cover toward the back, and should be replaced every six
months.
If you print many pages at a time, you may need to replace the
ozone filter more often. If you notice a peculiar smell when you
are printing, it is time to change the ozone filter.
