Cleaning the Media Path

Wipe away any ink or grime on the media path and other areas as part of the daily cleaning procedure. It is easy for ink or grime to affix to the media path, and, if left unattended, this will contaminate new media and have a negative effect on the transport of media when it is output. Pinch rollers, grit rollers, and the platen are particularly prone to the buildup of grime.

WARNING

Never use a solvent such as gasoline, alcohol, or thinner to perform cleaning.

Doing so may cause fire.

CAUTION:

Before attempting cleaning, switch off the sub power and wait until the UV-LED device cools (approximately 15 minutes).

Sudden movement of the machine may cause injury, or hot components may cause burns.

IMPORTANT:

• This machine is a precision device and is sensitive to dust and dirt. Perform cleaning on a daily basis.

• Never attempt to oil or lubricate the machine.

Clean by wiping with a cloth moistened by neutral detergent diluted with water then wrung dry.

	Pinch roller	These are the positions where the media is fixed in place or transported, so it is easy for ink and grime to affix to these positions. Failure to clean this part properly may result in the transfer of grime to the surface of media.
	Grit roller	These are the positions where the media is fixed in place or transported, so it is easy for grime to affix to these positions. Remove buildup of media scraps and other material using a brush. Never use a metal brush.
	Platen	Wipe away any buildup of ink, grime, or cut media on the media path and in the grooves.
