7.0 MAINTENANCE
7.1 General
Cleaning
Your FD 280 will need regular cleaning. How often
you’ll need to clean it depends on the amount of
paper dust your mail pieces generate. Wipe surface
dust or debris from the FD 280 with a damp cloth as
necessary.
TIP:
It is easier to move heads apart and together
when the rollers are turning.
Periodically check for peeled tabs stuck on the roller
near the bottom of the PEEL PLATE.
