Chapter 5: Maintenance
Service
With the exception of the ribbon and the time/date memory backup
battery, there are no user-serviceable parts in the time recorder. Do not
attempt to service/disassemble the time recorder other than prescribed in
this manual.
Exterior
Gently wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft cloth dampened with water
and a neutral detergent. Do not use thinner, benzene, or similar solvent.
Ribbon Replacement
The ribbon should be replaced when the imprint of the time card appears
light, overprinting (one line of print overlapping another) occurs or when
the following message appears in the display:
Always use Amano-approved ribbons. Non-Amano ribbons bind in the
printer carriage, produce weak quality prints and leave ink residue on
print head, rollers, and time cards.
Perform the following steps to replace the ribbon:
1. Remove the top cover and set the Mode Switch to Program/Ink.
2. Grasp the front panel from the bottom and flip it up.
3. Using two fingers, press the two white release tabs down and
towards the case, and while holding them, remove the ribbon.
