CLEANING THE PRINTER
DISCONNECT POWER CORD FROM THE
PRINTER BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
CLEANING OPERATION.
c.
Make certain that the paper is consistent
(especially in the case of multiple copies),
properly stacked, and properly aligned at all times
in order to prevent paper jams. Paper jams can
bend the print fingers. Operators should have the
service representative show them how to
straighten bent print fingers.
a. Clean the exterior of the Printer with a damp
cloth or sponge. A domestic cleaning agent can
be
used to remove stubborn dirt.
d. Understand the correct procedure for installing
ribbons, and use only specified ribbon. Incorrect
ribbon installation can cause damage to the
Printer.
b. Clean type fingers by using a type cleaning brush
backed by a sponge or soft cloth. See Figure 5-1.
REPLACING PUSHBUTTON LAMPS
e.
Before going "On Line", make certain all switches
are set properly.
f.
The CTL (Control) key must be held down while
pressing a control code key.
