Recommendations for Cleaning the Printer

v

You may need to clean the printer more often, especially before and after

printing labels.

v

The following procedure specifies that you unload forms from the printer

before you clean.
– Unloading forms before you clean requires that you reload forms after

you finish cleaning.

– Loading forms is a time-consuming activity and requires flushing forms

out of the entire forms path, then reloading and threading the entire

forms path.

– IBM recommends that for normal, once-per-day cleaning of the printer

you leave forms loaded on the printer, and do the best job you can

working around the forms to follow all of the cleaning steps. IBM also

recommends that you do an additional cleaning when you load a new

form type or when you have cleared the forms path.

v

You should clean the printer only with a vacuum cleaner that is approved

for toner applications.

v

You need the following items to clean the printer:
– Toner-certified vacuum cleaner
– Cloth or paper towels.

To clean the printer, do the following:

1.

Disable the host attachments. See “Enabling and Disabling Attachments” on

page 63 for details.

2.

Separate the forms at a perforation below the forms guide on the transfer

station.

3.

Move the static brush to the left with your hand so that the forms fall back

into the input area. Ensure that forms do not cover the end-of-forms sensor in

the input area.

4.

Advance the forms by SELECTING the NPRO pushbutton on the Display

Touch Screen main window.
The END OF FORMS 078A message appears on the Display Touch Screen.
