Taking Care Of Your Printer
Your printer will produce high quality jobs if it is well taken care of.
Periodic cleaning, handling the printer properly, and using the
correct consumables, such as paper and ribbons, will ensure
optimum performance.
Whenever it is necessary to service the printer, remember these
important concepts:
• Do not set the forms thickness lever too tightly
Incorrect closure of the forms thickness lever can cause paper
jams, ribbon jams with the potential for ribbon damage,
smeared ink, or wavy print.
• Do not print beyond the paper width
Excessive printing beyond the paper width will degrade the
print quality and can cause hammer bank damage.
• Use only authorized ribbons
Use of incorrect ribbons can lead to ink migration problems,
poor print quality, and extensive damage to the printer.
