Clean and oil rail carriage-wheel strips (bi-weekly)
Ink dust and debris can accumulate on the carriage-wheel strips. These particles become obstacles and
friction for the carriage wheels, which can appear as repeating output anomalies on the printed media.
1. Clean the three carriage-wheel strips well with Isopropyl alcohol.
2. Lubricate the top carriage-wheel strip from end to end on the rail (moving the carriage to clean the
full length of the rail).
The included oiled rags can be reused until there is no clear surface remaining on the rag (rags
should be replaced quarterly). Clean these surfaces weekly or more frequently, depending on the
amount of debris in the environment.
CAUTION: Do not add additional oil to the lubrication cloths. The cloths are created to distribute
a very thin film of oil. If too much oil is deposited, oil pockets can cause friction with the carriage
wheels, which will produce output anomalies.
3. Lubricate behind the top area of the rail where the carriage wheels contact.
