Important Maintenance Notes
To ensure the best performance of the printer, remember these maintenance
principles whenever you service the printer.
CAUTION
Failure to observe these guidelines can result in damage to the
equipment.
• Do not
adjust the platen gap unless
1) the original shuttle frame assembly or platen has been replaced with a
new or rebuilt unit, or
2) you are instructed to do so in a troubleshooting procedure.
• Never bend or tweak hammer springs. Always handle hammer springs by
the thick mounting base. The hammer springs and hammer tips are
delicate and precisely aligned.
• Use only
the ribbons specified in Appendix B. Use of incorrect ribbons
can lead to ink migration problems, degraded print quality, and expensive
damage to the printer.
• Do not close the forms thickness lever too tightly. Closing the forms
thickness lever too tightly can lead to smearing, degraded print quality,
paper jams, and damage to the platen and shuttle assembly.
